Baise-moi

A double-sided Japanese B5 movie flyer issued in 2001 for Baise-moi, the 2000 French film directed by Virginie Despentes and Coralie Trinh Thi. Its striking front design places two vivid pink faces against a black background, with oversized typography and a vertical line of Japanese text.

Two faces, two colors, and almost no visual restraint. The front reduces its portraits to flat fields of electric pink and black, with the title BAISE-MOI set in enormous block letters across the bottom. Japanese copy runs down the left margin, adding another sharp graphic element.

The reverse is considerably busier. Pink-bordered text panels, character portraits, and film stills surround Japanese descriptions of the film, while a diagonal “BAISE-MOI = FUCK ME” banner cuts across the lower section. At the bottom, a spring theatrical announcement and Cinema Rise information place the flyer within its Japanese release campaign.

The contrast between the two sides is part of its appeal: a confrontational image on the front, followed by a densely arranged promotional document on the back.
