I agree, they crossed so many lines with this film. the scene where the guy gets his head smashed... eek! I couldn't get rid of that image for ages. I don't mind violence in films when it is justified somehow by the plot and well directed, but that was just pointless.
another French film with lots of mindless sex and violence - Baise-moi. what a bad, bad, pointless film.
As you say Baiase Moi is minsdless rubbish, wasnt even sexy!
even though it upset me and didnt enjoy it irresverisble is a effective and well exectued film i thought... i was stunned by that film... that first scene was incredibaly shocking... i couldnt really watch and it made me feel terrible, but i did think the point of this film is that by the end of it all when you come round again to the club then having actually lived through this terrible process i found myself feeling the same way... its was horrible and shockign to find myself wanting that revenge.
its interesting that prehpas only french films can hit that level of malevolence.. la haine is a very 'exciting' film
mind recent new wave korean cinema is packed with anxious violence themes.... oldboy, sympathy of mr vengence.. etc
recently ive not been watching these kind of films .... instead i find it more healthy to watch films like cinema paradiso, the bicycle thieves, Juno etc... heartwarming stuff
