His debut film Seul Contre Tous (I Stand Alone) is up there with Taxi Driver in terms of visceral power and is a little easier to watch (only a little!). His film Into The Void has never been released here due to it's content, would love to see it.

I appreciated the story line. I really did it reminded me of May. That and I am tapped out on ghostly horror films. The plot was different, abd 8 worthy.

It's distributed as Enter the Void in the states. I'm surprised to hear it's banned, I don't remember it being all that disturbing. Matter of fact, save for the cinematography I thought it was pretty boring. Haven't seen Irreversible, been meaning to.
~~~ I just watched The Road- It's an adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy book of the same name. I haven't read it so I don't know how it compares. The son character annoyed the ****ing **** out of me. Good god was that kid whiny, even if he wasn't whining. It's the post-apocalypse, toughen up a bit ffs. That complaint aside, I thought the film was just okay. The acting, costumes/makeup, settings, etc. were all very captivating and immersing but the pace of the film is just bleh. It felt like a majority of it was just watching the father and his son wander through the woods. Beautiful, but not so much after and hour and forty five minutes with not much else going on. There's a recurrent theme of maintaining morality under desperate, unforgiving conditions but nothing really cathartic. It's all just bleak, mundane, and slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. Any time anything remotely exciting happened it just dissolves instantly in an anti-climactic letdown. Maybe that's the point, because it definitely adds to the feeling of hopelessness. But it's not much fun to watch.

Also as for banned movies I believe Cannibal Holocaust and Salo (120 days of Sodom) are both banned in multiple countries. The former legitimately tortured animals for entertainment though and taped it, so screw that guy. Both good movies with plenty of 'visceral power' (great description) regardless.

I mean, 8.9 is near perfect. If a movie like American Mary is an 8.9, a film like Shawshank Redemption would be a 42.0. Even in the context of horror I would say if American Mary was 8.9, Halloween or ANOES would be about a 64.3 Not to say I do not accept that this is your opinion, I certainly do. I just think that movie was pretty middle of the road. It was not awful, but I do not think it is in the ranks of near perfect. I liked the idea of the film. It certainly tried to go for something that could have been interesting. But the writing is really what stopped it in my opinion. Was rather predictable too.
