Man this is a hard movie.
If it was made by a confessing Roman Catholic, would it have been received so well?
I only ask because in its unrelenting depiction of how warped sexuality begins in the appetite and expresses itself as violence, it is so explicit (morally as well as visually) it wouldn’t need to be altered for it to become a companion piece to a contemporary Catholic pastoral letter about the pornofication of society.
This is not enjoyable. This is not amusing. But this remains a very good movie.
