Baise-moi

Baise-moi is a book first published in 1999 and authored by Virginie Despentes. A film based on the book, and with the same name, was released the following year. The film, directed by Despentes and actress Coralie Trinh Thi, received intense media coverage because its graphic mix of real rather than simulated sex and violence was on the limit of that allowed by censors in various countries around the world.

Baise-moi (literally translated as "Fuck Me," though "Rape Me" better typifies the intended meaning) tells the story of Nadine (played by Karen Lancaume) and Manu (Raffa?la Anderson) who go on a violent spree against a society in which they feel marginalized.

Nadine is a part-time prostitute and porn actress. Manu is a slacker who does anything to get by in the small town they both live in. One day, Manu and her only friend, a drug addict, are brutally gang-raped by a trio of degenerate street punks. While her friend struggles and screams in terror, Manu lies still with a detached look, angering the rapists. Full of rage, Manu returns home and tells her boyfriend of her ordeal. The boyfriend reacts by vowing to find and take revenge upon the rapists. But Manu kills him instead. Meanwhile, after another outing, Nadine comes home and after an argument with her roommate, Nadine kills her and takes off with their rent money. Nadine suffers another emotional setback when her only friend and pimp is shot in the head before her by some of his business 'associates.'
