After one of them is raped and murders her brother, two friends, Nadine and Manu, go on the run. Their suicidal flight is punctuated by killings and carnal impulses.
Those who let themselves be blinded by the scandal caused by the explicit sex scenes that led to its adult only rating, likely missed upon the genuine cinematic statement that was Virginie Despentes’ adaptation of her own novel, co-directed with Coralie Trinh Thi. A feminist manifesto way ahead of its time, a punk scream, rough edged and raw, what if this trashy Thelma and Louise was nothing but a prototype of French exploitation movies, reconnecting with the political virulence of the 1970s? A rape and revenge movie, entirely conceived from women’s perspective, in the vein of A Gun For Jennifer.
