Two teenage girls, both named Marie, decide that since the world is spoiled they will be spoiled as well; accordingly they embark on a series of destructive pranks in which they consume and destroy the world about them. This freewheeling, madcap feminist farce was immediately banned by the government. Written by Fiona Kelleghan <[email protected]>
This partly surrealist romp by two strange young women starts out as a challenge and then we embrace their energy and outrageousness. They are gluttons of every sort. Not just in the epicureanism that drives them, but in experiences and manipulations that the pass through, once they have made a commitment to be spoiled. There are scenes of avarice and excess, including coming on to old men who are willing to buy them expensive dinners, hoping for a sexual encounter. The are eventually put on a train out of town. The movie, however, has a tremendous edge to it which we eventually come to see. These girls are so engaging. I began to hate them for a while because of their obsessiveness, but then I realized what they represented. There are symbols all over the place, many of them phallic (sausages that are being trimmed with knives and scissors), and so this would be an interesting study. The images of war are a part of all this and the things that upset us are modest compared to the bombings of cities and the destruction of humanity.
