    The good thing about Breillat (the director and author of the book this is based upon) is that she's not at all squeamish about looking at the dark side of sexuality. On the other hand, her view of sexuality is pretty dark. Themes in this movie include the general hatred of women that men feel and the repulsiveness of female genitalia. Lots of nudity, male and female. Genetalia closeups, including insertion (but not intercourse). A hatchling being crushed, a group of young boys playing 'doctor' with a prepubescent girl, garden tools being used for (simulated) insertion, lots of menstrual blood, discussion of the sexual advantages of young boys over women - pretty strong stuff. If you can handle all of that, you'll get some insight into how Catherine Breillat views the relationship between the sexes. Just be prepared - that view is pretty dismal.

    This movie is disgusting. If you want to see a man masturbate with menstrual blood then watch this. If you want to see a woman take her dirty, blood-soaked tampon, put it in a glass of water and then watch two people drink from it then rent this movie. In a completely irrelevant opening scene there is one guy giving another one head. This is not simulated. You can actually see the penis in the mouth. There is likely to be at least one scene that will disgust any group of people. I'm just about to give up on French films.

    I am far from prudish, so my review has nothing to do with being offended by the graphic nature of the film. It's explicit nature is core to the story line, and it probably looked good on paper. But as a movie it fails to rise above the ridiculous. Skip this mess.

    Yes   |   No
