TIPTOPSTARS

director. Jean-Pierre Bekolo, Cameroon/France
Utterly singular, Les Saignantes is a futuristic, sci-fi, erotic, political thriller that traverses all of these genres while bringing a strong political sensibility to proceedings. Two sexy young women win the favors of the corrupt political elite, but when one of these leaders dies in the middle of a sexual act, the friends are left with a corpse to get rid of. Bekolo eviscerates the ruling elite but with the canny use of inter-titles also leaves the audience with something to ponder. French with English subtitles, 92 min
