i just saw this film at the 2001 toronto international film festival . the work title there be dog day . the audience reaction be mixed . some people find the graphic sex and realistic violence to be too much for them . others seem to genuinely appreciate how good this film be . this film isn not for the faint of heart . it like happiness with explicit sex and a less optimistic view of humanity . there animal poisoning and a strip tease from a senior citizen and an orgyesque bathouse in a shopping centre and anal candle penetration and and the molestation of the mentally incompetent . if any of this sound like too much to handle then this film isn not for you . this film show humanity at it most desperate and pathetic . the banality of our existence be shove in our face with utmost glee . seidl have no interest in redeem humanity here . and why should he . this film feature excellent performance from all involve and be always interesting and and be probably the most intelligent social statement to be make on film in awhile .
