Not mild, not perilous

Film Have a look at this cover for the new dvd release of Bertrand Blier's Les Valseuses:



"Uninhibited sex, random violence."

Hoorah!

[Having watched the film as part of my university course I can contest that in fact it does contain both -- and you've no idea how uncomfortable it was seeing it in the language lab where random strangers could look over your shoulder and wonder what kid of course I was doing. I just love the baldness of the description though -- that all pull quotes were that descriptive. Unlike the infamous BBFC description 'mild peril' it perfectly captures the content of the work -- although you could add "aimless wandering" in at the end too, but that might not sell too many discs.]
