As a feminist novelist with experience in the punk and porn scenes, the French Virginie Despentes caused a scandal in 2000, particularly as a director. Her film Baise-Moi – Fuck me!, a radical mix of sex and violence with explicitly pornographic scenes, was only allowed to be released in censorship in many countries. According to cutting reports, he is banned in Singapore and Malaysia to this day. The film was also indexed in Germany in 2001 after it was initially shown uncut in cinemas.
In 2022, Baise-Moi was finally removed from the index, according to cutting reports. The uncensored version was released on DVD and Blu-ray in this country on September 7, 2023 by StudioCanal/Arthaus. You can order the uncut FSK 18 version of the scandal film on Blu-ray at Amazon.

What is the scandal film Baise-Moi about?
Despentes’ film is about two women who come together after extreme acts of violence. Manu (Raffaëla Anderson) shot her brother emotionally after she was raped several times. Nadine (Karen Lancaume) killed her roommate in an argument. The two want each other while on the run take revenge on a world made up mostly of brutal menand primarily use their physical charms to achieve this. The women’s road trip becomes more and more of an uncontrolled bloodbath.
Despentes, who filmed her own debut novel with the film together with the former porn actress Coralie, also cast Anderson and Lancaume two porn stars in the main roles. With the raw acting, inserts of hardcore pornography, bloody excesses of violence and a visual that, with its low-resolution digital look, is reminiscent of realistic home video recordings, Baise-Moi is a hard piece to digest.
