Okay, how about another French film called "Baise Moi". I can't post on this site what the title literally translates to, but if you Google that title you'll get an idea of what the movie is about. I haven't seen it, but I probably will in the future.

It's funny because "baiser" is the verb that used to mean "to kiss," but it's been displaced by "embrasser." Certainly has given new life to "baiser"!

Why can't you say Rape Me?

"Rape Me" isn't what I was told that it meant. I don't speak French, though.

When I googled it that was what came up, but now I see what you mean. "The American distributors have translated that French title as Rape Me, but I’m told that the connotation would actually place it closer to F--- Me." http://www.moviemartyr.com/2001/baisemoi.htm

The 2 main actresses, I'm told, were previously porn actresses...and were willing to go the distance in all the scenes involving men and such...

It looks like they have it at Netflix if you are a member. Baise Moi (2000) Manu, a hardened young waif is violently raped by a group of savage young thugs. Nadine, a tough-skinned prostitute, sells her body but refuses to give up her soul to the world's oldest profession. Angry at the world, they embark on a twisted rage-filled road trip. Starring: Raffaela Anderson, Karen Lancaume ... Director: Virginie Despentes ... It does sound quite disturbing.

I can't figure out how to word this without being crude or misunderstood but...as slang "baiser" can mean f*** or screw. It not only has a sexual connotation but can also mean someone has done you wrong. (That already sounds so wrong I'm not going to try to clarify it anymore!) Hmm, think I'll skip coloring any words in this post.
