    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The first-person voice-over heard throughout the film was written after principal photography was finished. Writer and director Gaspar Noé said, he was mostly drunk, when he wrote it, because he wanted to be as close as possible to the mind-set of the main character. Noé also told audiences, that the rage and frustration articulated in the voice-over was inspired by the near-poverty he experienced during the production of this self-financed debut feature.
    • Goofs
      The main character tells the manager of the abattoir that he is 50 years old. However, the narration at the start of the movie states that the main character was born in 1939, and the movie is set in 1980, which would make him 40 or 41 years old.
    • Quotes
      • The Butcher: Most women are poor creatures. Being without a cock, the only way they can feel strong in front of a man is to betray him by latching on to another cock, especially when it's got more money. The part i like is after stuffed her snatch her prince charming dropped her like stinky cheese. She acted like filth, but she was smart enough to admit it. The past always catches up to you. You always end up paying for your acts. And if she threw herself in front of a subway train, it's not my fault. She obviously didn't deserve better...
    • Crazy credits
      The film frequently cuts to title cards that display a variety of messages.
    • Alternate versions
      To receive an 18 certificate two shots of sexual penetration during the viewing of a hardcore sex film at a cinema were blurred for the UK release. The video featured the same optically edited print.
