Frontière(s)



















a.k.a. Frontier(s)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0814685/
Yasmine (Karina Testa) is 3 months pregnant with her ex boyfriend Alex (Aurélien Wiik), they try to flee the streets of Paris together with their friends since the city has turned into chaos.
The chaos has much to do with an election that has made a right wing winning the president post, or as Tom (David Saracino) says to Farid (Chems Dahmani) - Fascist country. I told you that France was ten years behind the USA. Here it comes - finally we have our George Bush.

Tom and Farid makes it to an Inn out in the french countryside. Soon Yasmine and Alex will join them. What they don´t know is that they have fled from one problem to a much bigger and scarier thing - namely an inbreed Neo Nazi family….

As much as Frontière(s) is a french homage to Texas chainsaw massacre at some points it is verry hard, or maby yet impossible Not to put it in the time frame we live in today - or - a scary violent future that put it´s sick twisted layer across europé Thess days.
Xavier Gens - writer and director - surely used the autentic frustration after the real shooting of a 11 year old boy in 2005, read more belov.

Frontière(s) has been mixed up and put in the same cathegory as a lot of TP movies (Torture porn) such as Martyrs (since it´s french), Saw and Hostel. It is unfair, since Xavier Gens movie is as much as it is a horror movie also can be seen as a time documentary of our troubled times.
Sure it uses referenches such as Texas chainsaw massacre it also references, as said, to the nazis and their sadistic hatred against muslims, the inbreed family hold names such as Hans, Karl, Von Geisler and Goetz.

Goetz
















Xavier Gens doesn´t exactly hold back when it comes to the gore and blood.

Yasmine and a lot of blood
















So if you wanna witness a brutal, sadistic future (?) from europe, or atleast what may come, get Frontière(s) now.
Or you simply can´t avoid the new french revolution.

Goetz - Well, well, well, you're not doing badly for yourselves! At least you're not gay.

Von Geisler - Hang them up! And skin the fat off of them.

In the midst of a tense period and following a shooting that killed an 11-year-old boy in the banlieue (suburb) of La Courneuve in June 2005, Sarkozy quoted a local resident and vowed to clean the area out "with a Kärcher" (nettoyer la cité au Kärcher, referring to a well-known German brand of pressure cleaning equipment), and two days before the 2005 Paris riots he referred to the criminal youth of the housing projects as voyous (thugs) and racaille, a slang term which can be translated into English as rabble, scum or riff-raff;[94] this was criticised as being inappropriate language by the French Communist Party's L'Humanité.[95]”
