Breaking Point (Les Suédoises)

This movie sucks big time.The story is awful as same as the acting.Its incredibly stupid and totally unrealistic.Not likely that swedish government would send a message to the swedish people which says "Go out and get yourself a gun".

Some hardcore sex and silly violence.Fun to have seen since its very hard to find but I will probably never watch it again.

This is one of those films when you just can't believe what you see on the screen during the movie, when it ends you laugh for some time about how awful that film was and the next day you forget all about it.

This movie is a proof that porno should be on film, not on video. The fact it was shot on film adds so much to the porno scenes, it is actually pleasant to watch.

Bad quality of this C-movie can't hide some deep observations and conclusions of human, both male and female, psyche. The desperation of man in boring modern society, search of forbidden, of pleasures and adrenalin excitement, is a main theme here. But the low quality of the movie is ruining it, there is a lot of potential wasted.

And the movie is definitely not a thriller or a horror. It's a porn with a story, a very vague one.

Worth seeing once. In best case scenario - at some point of your life you will be able to mention the fact you've seen it, people will jealous and you will feel good about yourself.

Director Bo Arne Vibenius shot to fame by directing the rape/revenge classic Thriller - en grym film/They Call Her One Eye (1974)and decided to make an even more controversial film.

This dystopian, surreal, nightmarish film about a serial killer/rapist looks like nothing else in Swedish cinema and have few counterparts, even by international standards.

There are some graphic violence but I think the hardcore pornographic scenes in this film that makes it an early precursor to controversial filmmakers like Lars Von Trier, Catherine Breillat etc.

In many ways Vibenius was way ahead of his time by splicing in hardcore porn into his films. Something that is not common, but has been used (mainly within art-house cinema)by several other directors for various reasons.

The story itself reminds me of, say, Maniac (1980), American Psycho (2000), C'est arrivé près de chez vous/Man Bites Dog (1992), Hi, Mom! (1970)etc.

Granted it is not as good as the above mentioned films, mainly because Vibenius doesn't seem to know what kind of story he wants to tell neither does he seem to have real script.

But you get the feeling that film is supposed to have dreamlike, surreal feeling, how much of the film is "real" and how much is just fantasies by the main character?

However, I urge everyone to see this one, and it should be released on DVD, because it is a curious item among Swedish exploitation cinema(or Swedish film history in general)due to it's content and style.

Another masterpiece from the alltime favourite director Bo Arne Vibenius! We all know his skills from "Thriller- a cruel picture" and he´s not letting us down with this one either! The film might be about a frustrated (or very liberal, or simply stark raving mad)office clerk, who has sex (or think he has ) with all the women he encounters. He also get to be triggerhappy and wreak havoc a bit, whilst foundling bussoms and playing with his toytrain.The soundtrack is fantastic, and will leave you humming the main theme for weeks(If I´m not mistaken, it´s the main theme from "The third man"...)! Wanna get confused? Pick up a copy and blaze away... It´s Brilliant!!

"Breaking Point" is a truly demented porno thriller made by Bo Arne Vibenius of "Thriller:A Cruel Picture" fame.Andreas Bellis plays a rapist murderer who runs amok.He stalks women,follows them home,then rapes and kills them.He also plays with his toy trains and suffers from sexual nightmares.It seems to me that Vibenius has taken obvious pains to create attractive art-house shot compositions,including some amazing dreamlike sequences;an achievement made all the more impressive considering the film's threadbare sets and obvious low budget.Still "Breaking Point" is a grim and bleak film that offers plenty of hard core sex and perversity.Unfortunately the action sequences near the end are poorly staged.However if you are a fan of depraved exploitation cinema give this one a look.7 out of 10.
