one of worst flicks ever seen by the human eye ?.

I got the movie from Netflix and finally watched it today..if it were a porno, then I'd say it were a high quality porn, but this is nothing but a lame attempt at a legit movie, and very badly done at that. The only acting that's worth a damn IS the sex scenes, which I'm sure isn't what the director actually wanted..

It sure isn't that bad. Some people say the sex is too explicit, so what, what's the big deal with actually showing what's going on. And after that, the movie just turns into a very funny roadmovie. Btw Baise-Moi was shown in a lot big cinema's in Europe. For actresses who came out the porn-world, their performances weren't that bad.

And for the shock aspect, every shock effect already has been done in the movies, people can't be shocked anymore, that's why the movie is so damn funny.

(want to see something really shocking, watch CNN)

All hail the filmmakers who aren't afraid to show some REAL sex. (Lars von Trier did it in Idioterne and I heard nobody complain about that)

>i've seen worse*COUGH*Ken Park*COUGH*

This is the correct answer.

I have to admit, the rape scene made me giggle.

I'm a very open minded person... but this film is not art, it's porn. There is no way the shots used are not pornographic. It was ridculous. It was also a completely *beep* up storyline.. Sorry this was not for me at all. The directors were so pretentious when being interviewd "All women should see this" why the hell should they. They could just as easily rent a porno and get the same thing, at least it wouldnt be hiding under an 'arty' label.

It's fine to share your opinion (i can't say i agree however), but don't try and insult everyone with comments like 'for those of us intelligent and open-minded...' It just gives the impression that you are arrogant, and have no argument. And the fact the majority of people on this board knew what this film was about and still watched it shows that they are open minded, so that point was wrong. In addition to this i personally (along with most of the others here i'm sure) have seen more shocking and provocative cinema. Try Visitor Q, Irreversible, Suicide Club, Ichi the killer... (all of which are better than this rubbish).

Baise Moi, simply did nothing new. The sex (intimacy, the idiot, irreversible) violence (very tame by the way in comparison to hundreds of other films, acting (awful) and story of female empowerment has all been done before, just better. Thats just my opinion!

By the way i didn't particularly like Bad Boys 2.

Obviously this film has a storyline, two women who feel repressed by someone close to them, end up murdering them in a violent rage because they dont like the way they are being controlled and constantly judged by that person. They then meet and find they have something in common and go on an adventure which is mainly about revenge against the male gneder. That'll do for a storyline, also at the end they are punished for their crimes, one is shot the other is caught by the police.

Suzie I loved this film too and hey I'll rip my pants for the right cock although teeth do it better.

The film is WAY better than irreversible which is just 20 minutes of rape and violence, then dull boredom.
In BM we have 2 beautiful shag priestesses who decide life is *beep* If life is *beep* then make it better and that's what they selfishly do. The sound track is banging, the sex scenes are very sexy and anyone who says the girls are not attractive must be blind.

I love the fact that the film is made by a porn star and the actors/actresses all had contacts with that industry so they show it for what it is...witness the hilarious massacre in the *beep* club and th piggy deliverance piss take. The film is totally hilarious until the incredibly sad ending.

To compare this film with Thelma and Louise is just a joke.
Any woman who has any sexual experience will find this film hilarious.

Gaspar Noe tried really hard to get his film Irreversible banned, but his crude efforts failed and the only reason more people know about his work is because dumb Monica Belluci agreed to be ass raped in it...which is not hilarious or even remotely entertaining.

I love the opening shots of BM and I have got a collar just like hers hehehe

For me, Baise-Moi was a slightly above average film. I'd have rated it higher if the ending had been as postmodern as the film itself. Ironically, for a European film with controversal content, the ending was very classical Hollywood with the protagonists punished for their crimes.

As for the the rest of the film, it had an interesting premise. All good films can be summarised in one sentence and this, for me, this did. Two repressed women break free and go on a road trip, living the way they only understand, which is violence and sex. I love the ambiguity in the film and the fact that these women actually failed to break from the cycle of masculinity because their road trip was an analogy of what they had been subjected to them in the past.

Someone in the above post said this:

**It is a Story of the failure of the Emancipation of two women in a masculine controlled world, because the only way the two female protagonists see to escape out of their oppression is by adopting to the masculine behavior , which consequentually leads to their own destruction**

The perfect summary of what I'm trying to explain and for me, it makes more sense than the comment made by Suzie Q Toller, who said the genius of the plot is there is none. The story is their failure to fully emancipate from their past, which is shown within road trip 'plot.' Break down the sequences and you'll see how the plot progresses.

Cheeky Monkey argues that the film did nothing new. In terms of plot, of course the film did nothing new, it's simply impossible. As Aristotle stated, there are only 36 different types of plot. Of course, you can implement new techniques into film, lets say Memento's play with linearity, but the plot of Memento has probably been rehashed a million times, from Egyptian to contemporary writing. In terms of plot, what was good about Baise-Moi is the vicious cycle the two protagonists had become involved in. A lovely insight into the relations between sex and violence in the French contemporary underclass. And finally, a beautiful exploration of how sex and death ultimately entwine. Something humans have obsessed over for thousands of years. Is it coincidence guys, that you get an erection when you die??

Baise-Moi is an okay film and worth 75 mins of your time. Shame about the ending.
