Quote:
September 1961. It’s the start of a new academic year at the Université de Montréal. Nicole meets Pierre, a sophomore who shows her how to succeed in her courses without attending them. Marie-Josée tells her about her unhappy love affair and warns her to beware of men. Carl, a conceited young man, offers her a tour of the city. The film follows Nicole in a lecture on sexuality, and a show of the Cyniques (a famous 60s group of humorists). With Pierre, she takes part in a boozy initiation, and the romance culminates in an endless series of kisses that goes on until the first snow.Read More »

IMDB quote –

“In My time as a sucker for obscure exploitation and trash movies, I have seen quite a bunch of vile and disturbing stuff. Yet it is rare that I am shocked about anything. After all its just movies. There is exceptions though, and Denis Héroux’s ‘Born for Hell’, with the weird aka ‘Naked Massacre’, is one of those movies that hit Me straight in the heart. Let Me just point out clearly that ‘Born for Hell’ is a excellent movie! But it isn’t something I really would be in a hurry to re-watch! It ain’t often I get such a bad feeling in the stomach from a movie.Read More »
