Watched 'Baise-Moi' at the weekend for the first time. Had a strange feeling throughout that, if the movie had been made by men it would be totally unacceptable. Yet, because it's written and directed by women we can 'accept' the premise and some of the scenes.
Is it really a wise idea to include hardcore sex-scenes in a gruelling rape sequence? Isn't this the kind of stuff that some sick-puppies look for when they put 'sex terror' in their search engines?
Overall I thought it was a good and thought provoking movie though, but this current trend of including unsimulated sex in very un-erotic films is a strange trend('Romance', 'The Idiots', 'Intimacy'). They seem to be trying to de-eroticise sex, or is it porn, or the ideas of porn that they are trying to de-eroticise?
