Haven't seen the film but...

First, I didn't know that this movie was available (censored or not) outside France till now. I thought it was only for french market. And even in France, it's a minor movie, not so famous, and most french people have never heard about it.

The writers and directors of the movie are two women, ex-porn actresses (the main actress was also a french porn actress before) and, according to what I read in the press, they made this movie more like a parody of "Thelma and Louise", just made for fun.
Maybe they wanted to take revange in this movie with the machos world of porn industry where they used to work before.

I like to think of it as a punk movie - anybody can do this - nihilistic - f*** you if you don't like it - no plot just sex and violence. If you have any kind of liking for exploitation cinema you should check it out (uncut its only 77 minutes). Just don't be expecting another Irreversible.

I thought it was banned in France though.

I think it has been X rated, so you can't see it at "normal" theaters in France, but it's available in DVD/Video. I have seen it on a french online shop for less than 2 Euro/US$.

If you are interested in women directing violent/sex movies, you should check out Cathernie Breillat movies:
