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.

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. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More 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. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?

At a point, the images became too offensive for us. We are not suggesting nor do we believe that Blockbuster should take this film out of their inventory but rather that their rating warning be made more explicit and emphasized because the content of this film go far beyond nudity and even the connotation of strong sexual content.

Read More As you may have read from other reviews about the strange and ofter sickning parts of this film this movie should NOT be available on blockbuster. Dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with naked women in a movie in fact thats a plus but this movie goes way to far! I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE PART OF THE KIDS PLAYING DOCTOR WAS EVEN ALLOWED IN THIS MOVIE, THAT IS TOTALLY WRONG AND QUITE DISTURBING! As I said, I think blockbuster SHOULD REMOVE THIS TITLE.

Dear GOD!!! If I was dyeing and forced to watch this ungodly awfulness,once again, I would kill myself. I think that I have lost my appetite for the next week from seeing a few of the unmentionables that were so vividly shown in this wonderful piece of crap.
:) Thanks! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Here in America we have another name for it...SH*T. There are things floating in my toilet that are more fun to watch. If I could slap the people responsible for this, I would because it is time taken from my life I'll never get back. If you are tempted to watch this, do yourself a favor and stare at a blank wall for an hour and a half. It will be more entertaining. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
