« In spite of the preface of the film [Mourir à tue-tête], where men of all classes are singled out, her decision to use the stereotypically violent worker as the actual rapist could be seen as letting middle- and upper-class men off the hook. Male spectators can distance themselves from the ugly proletarian rapist and hide behind the notion that only 'they'—that is, the lower classes—could do something that brutal; 'we' upper-class gentlemen would never mistreat a woman. »
