It is considered to be a controversial and highly explicit film due to its graphic depictions of violence and sex.
The movie revolves around two women, Manu and Nadine, who are both victims of abuse and sexual assault. They meet each other by chance and soon become friends. As they roam around the city, they engage in sex and violence, killing several men who cross their paths.
Baise-moi is a nihilistic film that explores themes like misogyny, violence, and sexuality. It seeks to subvert the traditional tropes of the road movie genre by depicting its protagonists as brutal and uncompromising. It has been criticized for its extreme content and has faced censorship in several countries.
The film was released to mixed reviews and received both accolades and condemnation from audiences and critics alike. It was banned in France for a short period before being re-released with an adult-only rating. Despite its controversial reputation, it has gained a cult following over the years and is still considered to be an important film in the canon of French cinema.
