Quote:
"The film's [Mourir à tue-tête's] graphic depiction of rape and its putative suggestion that all men are potential rapists raised a storm of debate seldom seen in the history of Canadian film. Audiences either applauded the film for daring to deal frankly with the problem of violence against women, or attacked it vehemently for having gone too far in its audacity."
-- André Loiselle
