Baise-Moi

Yanked from distribution and slapped with a porn rating in Paris, Baise-Moi gained notoriety by fusing the combination of guns and real sex. The film focuses on women who have been thoroughly alienated, abused, and humiliated by mainstream society: Nadine (Karen Lancaumeone), a streetwise vagabond who found her only friend shot dead, and Manu (Raffa?la Anderson), who endured a violent rape. A chance meeting leads the two to hit the road ? la Thelma and Louise and find a voice for their bottomless rage by gleefully killing any and all who might cross their path, while also nurturing their sexuality with long benders of animalistic coupling. After the outlaws dispatch with the entire clientele of a swingers' club, the authorities start to close in. This film was screened at the 2000 Toronto Film Festival.
