Adapted from the provocative novel by transgressive postmodern intellectual and author Georges Bataille, MA MERE is set in the visually lush and spiritually empty tourist trap of the Canary Islands. Louis Garrel, projecting the same European sultriness that was perfectly suited to Bertolucci`s more warmly erotic film THE DREAMERS, plays Pierre, a sulking and antisocial teenager, willfully indifferent to being on summer vacation with his parents. When his wayward father suddenly dies, his mother Helene (Isabelle Huppert), forces him into her universe of illicit sex--a simultaneously ugly and playful realm inhabited by Gallic sophisticates engaging in orgies and bondage. Pierre, a devout Catholic, is resistant at first--to the point of
Catholic guilt-induced attacks of sobbing and hyperventilation. But after fulfilling experiences with Helene`s male and female playmates, Pierre obsessively pursues the sexual attention of his own mother, and a disturbing quest toward consummation of the attraction between mere and fils is undertaken.Star Isabelle Huppert`s role as Helene is a perfect follow-up to her award-winning turn in the equally shocking LA PIANISTE, which featured the French fatale engaging in illicit acts with both a young male student and her own controlling, elderly mother. With her just barely constrained and visibly volatile sexual energy, the actress has become known as the
go-to girl
for roles that transcend sexual and social taboos and explore the dark and violent side of erotic desire. Her overpowering presence in MA MERE, as all great performances do, make the viewer wonder just how blurry the boundaries between actress and role have become.

Long heralded as one of the most repulsively violent film series ever created, Satoru Ogura's controversial, extreme GUINEA PIG films were created to push graphic horror fans to the very limit of their tolerance for gore. This DVD contains two tales. In MERMAID IN A MANHOLE, an artist who has recently lost his wife finds a diseased and dying mermaid in a sewer. He brings her home and tries to help her. Though he is only able to watch her slowly die, she encourages him to use her body in the creation of his art. Based on an actual Tokyo police case, HE NEVER DIES looks at an investigation into a case of extreme suicide, in which a man appears to have survived an extraordinarily long time into the destruction of his own body. Be warned--GUINEA PIG contains much stronger violence than the average view is accustomed to...DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull ScreenAudio: Dolby Digital Stereo - JapaneseInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Selection
