If you like non-mainstream cinema, this might be interesting for you, since it is a crossbreed of crime thriller and porn. The issue, however, is not the movie itself, but ridiculous attempts to portray it as socio-political commentary. The country of origin is France and has a long artistic and revolutionary tradition, which made this movie suitable for such kind of promotion.

As far as philosophy and broader context are concerned, there is only one question about this movie: Is there artistic merit in non-simulated sex and violence scenes. With affirmative answer, we imply that in the future even the Hollywood blockbusters should prepare the actors for new artistic challenges. Presumably this would make porn industry obsolete by integrating it in mainstream movie making. I guess i should stop daydreaming here...

This is a raw movie or, as the trailer put it, "the most extreme thriller you'll ever see legally".
