Title: More hype than art
Product review: After having heard so much about Baise-Moi, I was actually fairly disappointed. Yes, it may have broken some new ground with its graphic sex (the violence you've seen before, and done better, in 100 other films)and brutality, but certainly not enough to start a whole new genre. The problem is, the sex seems to be there only for its own sake; it follows no rhyme or reason. Nor, for that matter, does the violence. I know it was supposed to be random, but even that's kind of covoluted. It's really difficult to have sympathy for the 2 main characters, because they're victims of their own doing even before they go off. And the film is not only surprisingly short (77 minutes), but it just kind of ends, with no true resolution. Maybe worth seeing if you can get a copy cheap.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
