hmmm....this maybe proof that i really don't like myself and never really want to be happy....there is political meaning and some sort of social commentary here but the overlying theme of the film is shocking vile acts that really push the boundaries of anything i have seen before...i had thought i'd seen the worst but i think this one takes it...i think there was a message there and that made it interesting, and the film making itself is very pretty....but the graphic stuff in this movie drowns all sense of well being and brutally beats any glimpse of social commentary into submission....
