Baise-moi (2000)

Would have to agree with all the reviews comparing this to Thelma and Louise, in fact if you were to walk in half way through on it the only way you could tell the movies apart is the hair colour of the leads…

Of course this being French it does have elements of the bedroom farce and that wacky Gallic humour that made Taxi such a success, also slightly more risque with some brief nudity and even (shock!) the occasional nipple, although it does lack the gritty down to earth American realism of T&L.

More somberly one of the two main actresses, Karen Lancaume, killed herself a week ago.. :/

dunno why this only got 4.8 on the IMDB, thought it was well made, original, and enjoyable… not shocking or ‘repellant’ as it seems to be labeled in many places.
