Plot – Spoilers:
Nicole, a nurse, rides her moped in the French countryside as she goes door-to-door seeing patients. One such evening, four men who are habituated to molesting women, spot her outside a cafe and later abduct her when she’s riding down the kind of road where no one seems to notice anything – this is a pretty cool scene for the way the lead actress does her own stunt of being pushed off the bike. Nicole is then taken into the woods and gangraped before being dropped off by the side of the road.

Made in the late ’70s by a woman, this is less exploitative than your typical rape movie and might even be considered a feminist take on the issue. Post the assault, casual attention or harassment from men now disgusts and even scares Nicole as she struggles with what her next course of action should be. The men in her life are useless to her here. The boyfriend who seems to have joined the army to feel more like a man thinks she shouldn’t detail the experience with anyone else. The husband of a friend verbalizes and intellectualize rape, not necessarily because he knows he’s in a French movie. And her mother too thinks she should shut up about it. So it’s just her friend goading her on to seek some sort of legal justice.

The porn was good, thought the rest of the movie was a slog.

Grouprapes are not usual among white people but it’s the norm in the muslim community, especially among afgjhani men, somali men and arabs…oh, that’s 99% of muslims

A fine story from France and a good depiction of the trauma that would confront any female in that situation. Yes, we have been well advised that often the female is more on trial than the man/men.

If youre a female or a child reading this just give this a minute:
Invest on carrying a maze, pepperspray and study using a knife because rapists deserve no mercy,

Kick them in the balls because that stuns them momentarily then punch or kick as hard as you can in the space between the jaw and ear, then jump on top them while folding thei arms on their sides while punchture their eyes inwards into their skull with your thumbs. If you succeeded doing that you might have saved several other people from traumatisation, which makes you a hero.

I had to stop watching (I want to rape the men who violated this beautiful woman). I love hairy women, and this chick has a nice bush! If she was bushy under her arm’s, and on her thighs & calves, she would be even sexier. To my female readers; STOP contributing to pedophilia by shaving you’re lady-bush! If you have a Brazilian wax, then you’re BF has been to IpStain island a few times, and you need to dump him!

Feeling low and glum because of this shitty world we live in? Wanna see a movie that will lift your spirits? This isn’t it. Super depressing and sad. Well made film. 4 stars. Can’t say I’m happy I watched it.
