comment
Rape as Drama: The core of the film is the emotional ordeal Nicole goes through after the rape, struggling between keeping it for herself and her inner circle (out of guilt, shame, loneliness, feeling "ugly" and not wanting to be touched anymore) and going to court to bring the rapists to justice. After a while, Nicole can't stand the former anymore.

'70s Hair: A given considering the decade it was filmed in. The most prominent example is the long hair of Julien (Pierre Arditi) and Daniel (Daniel Auteuil).

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil
 Rape of Love / int_8a817c2a
comment
Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: The film pulls no punch in showing the ordeal the rape victim goes through, both physical and emotional (particularly how ashamed she feels afterwards, despite most people telling her she has no reason to feel so).

Rape Discretion Shot: Completely averted with the gang-rape scene, which pulls no punch in showing how brutal it is and how helpless Nicole is. They also force her to undress herself beforehand.

Dull Surprise: One would expect quite a bit more rage from Jacques when he learns about the rape of his fiancée than what he displays (the bad acting of Alain Fourès doesn't really help).

comment
Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: When Nicole and Catherine discuss at the hospital the next day after the gang rape, Catherine asks Nicole what she would do if the roles were reversed, if her fiancé Jacques was raped by four women. Nicole (on a humorous tone) says she would "kill him".

Slut-Shaming: While Nicole is being raped, one of the men notices she's not a virgin, and they start calling her "garce", "pute" and "salope" (all vulgar terms equivalent to "whore" in French).

The '70s: Filmed in the decade, with the expected fashion, hairstyles and cars of the era in France (the Citroën 2CV dates back to the late '40s, but it was still a popular car back then).
