just watched a French shocker (apparently banned in France ) entitled Baise-moi (literally "fuck me" or "rape me"). this is a weird and in ways disturbing film. its like a combination of Thelma and Louise, the dutch film A Question of Silence, and Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers (all interspliced with images from hardcore porn). amidst the savage violence and a fairly unnerving rape scene, are images of pretty straight-on hardcore porn (penises and penetration aplenty) and graphic killings (well, graphic by normal standards - nothing to shock the regular horror fan - but there is a kind of savage indifference to human life here that remains disturbing).

is this film art, exploitation, or just crap? I'd say art, but i'm feeling generous. I think it is disturbing but also thought-provoking.
