French Horror - Maléfique

It occured to me, the other day, that far too few people have seen this film.

Maléfique

It's different than most in that, as far as I remember, there is not one scene where something jumps out at the viewer. No quick spurts of music meant to surprise you, nothing. Instead the film starts with such complete weirdness that it uneases you. The movie takes place almost exclusively in a jail cell, with a man that has massive tits and likes to dress as a woman, a spastic guy who eats anything he sees, a strange old man, and the protaganist, a good person by no means, who is in jail for commiting massive financial fraud.

From there, it just gets odder and odder and odder.


Check it out.

then you definitely want to check out another one of catherine breillat's films, Romance X.

porn star rocco siffredi's first "real" acting job. very bizarre. i still don't know what to make of it.
