stuff like this make me question if it possible it could ever be make in america . sure and we have david lynch and guy maddin and even david cronenberg and add to our wonderful world of extremely disturb for the sake of disturb film making and but could they go to this level . or be i be unfair to say that this be a different level . it could be the same intent with a different approach . we have three segment and each extreme in their own way . the first and a shockingly gross out horror film involve foetophagia ( pardon me my neologism if there happen to be a real word for say consumption out there ) and be about all the wonder in blood and gross biological matter you can possibly compress into gut churn madness . too bad it doesn not really have much more to it than that and because honestly once you get over the initial gut reaction and there not much more to care about . no spectacular cinematography and nothing really amazing in performance . no real reason to be a movie a oppose to a photograph and a write story and a bad tale tell over candlelight . i will just pretend it all symbolic of the current issue over stem cell research and leave it at that . the second segment and by the wonderful park chan wook of oldboy fame and get a little well . our little friend park have an eye for torture and i see and as now it involve a movie director and his wife tie to his own house like set and a disturbed extra put him through physical and emotional turmoil . this one have no long wind development of psychological torture by hypnotism and this be straight out lose if you do and lose if you do not . the focus on the stage lighting and the level of truth and deceit make it an interestingly post modern look at spectatorship and as now these character be force to look at each other take up and remove their costume in a twisted dynamic . too bad that theme isn not really developed much more than just be there and because again and this film have a little bit less in term of cinema . it have some neat trick here and there and just nothing to write home about . the third segment and and my favorite and be from my man the amazing takashi miike of ichi the killer fame . a much more atmospheric and involve film and indeed and this be the story of a woman who dream fitfully about her accidental murder of her twin sister at the age of ten and with a slightly more complex plot involve a circus performer and pedophilia . mostly film that turn out to be just a dream be kind of disappointing and but this have something fresh to add to the group . it also have the most to offer cinematically and with real care put into editing and production design and imagery and juxtaposition and and whatever possible to embellish mood . of all the segment and this be the most artsy and lovely and and really a good end to round up the feature we have be subject to . overall and do not expect to eat comfortably after view this film . not gon na work out well . i wouldn not expect the most amazing stuff await you and but on the other hand if youre the type to be absolutely fascinate by the place the human mind will go and see how you handle this . the marquis de sade would be proud . polarisdib .
