i just finish watch this move and twice . i watch the synapse dvd ( absolutely awesome picture quality ) and be delight to see an adult tale and well told . a comment on the synapse dvd while the subtitle default to new one which cover up the original one burn onto the dvd . accord to synapse and the original subtitle be not too good . i watch the movie with the default new subtitle and while the content be good and they cover up a lot of the movie . hence the second viewing with the less obtrusive though inaccurate one . the use of subtitle be actually quite minimal . however and in two scene and they cover up some shocking footage well view with the less intrusive old one . enough of the dvd . possible spoiler . i just love this movie . i love the photography and the extreme behavior and the brilliant acting . everything . the daughter and who i think be play by meredyth herold and be incredibly sexy and appear constantly on the point of orgasm with the slight provocation push her over the edge . what a stunning performance . people have compare this to what you would expect from john water etc . however and while i like his movie and nothing come close to the beauty and acting and photography and atmosphere and sheer stomach turn quality of this work of art . ( that go for the infamous pink flamingo regard grossness also ) . i be also concern that the movie be in black and white . i shouldn not have be . aside from make this one of the best photographed movie and ever . it make the gross stuff even more extreme . and there be a lot of gross stuff while incest and cannibalism and sexual regurgitation and urination and torture and masturbation ( with food . and without ) and violence etc . and it look just wonderful . . spoiler over . this movie be for strong stomach only . some of the scene will likely offend 99 % of the view population . however and this be a movie of great physical beauty and be not to be miss . a pure work of art . to think i do not plan to watch this for several week after get the dvd . thank goodness i change my mind . if you have a strong constitution and do not miss this movie . very highly recommend .
