6. Baise-Moi
Baise-Moi is the French crime thriller revolving around two women and their meeting of roads and combined journey of crime, violence and sex. The film received a lot of media hype and coverage due to graphically explicit sex, sadism and it’s shocking title as Baise-Moi in English is ‘Fuck Me’; the movie is based on the bestseller novel written by one of the directors Virginie Despente but did not receive the same acclaim as of the book. Virginie Despente directed the movie in collaboration with Coralie Trinh Thi, both the directors are known as former porn stars while the actresses in the lead roles, Karen Lancaume and Raffaela Anderson, are also associated with porn industry. The story is about two independent women who feel themselves as misfits in the society they are living it, Nadine (Lancoaume) works as a part time prostitute and Manu (Anderson) works as a minor porn star. After meeting, both of them form a team and starts making their own ways and get involved in a number of killings. The movie was banned in a number of countries including its hometown France; it was released in UK with rating R18 and is considered as violent porn in many countries. The directors rejected the claim saying that the film is not meant for masturbation hence it’s not porn; the movie has real sex scenes as the heroines are porn stars and have no problem in filming it. The movie is the very first one to show penis entering into vagina in the gang rape scenes and the anal penetration of a man through gun.
