Rating: Summary: A MUST Review: THIS FILM IS EXTRAORDINARY. IT WAS SOMEWHAT DISTURBING, LIKE MOST GREAT FILMS.
Rating: Summary: SHATTERED [an then sum...] Review: {OK ~ in some ways we are privvy to the Mason Verger fantasies and scenes edited from "Hannibal"} but in this form we see ....A revenge cycle? Quirky little tale about what goes around comes around [again and agin] ~ somewhat a sister to 'Salo" - a worthy sister, but the victims are pre-teen and the graphic violence is disturbing. There are touches of 'Nosferatu' here and looks like Coppola borrowed the red flowing cloak [the crane shots of the protagonist in full steam] from this saga. Faces are quite handsome and fairly entertaining - but not not not for the squeamish. [Wonder just how they got away with this one .....] 'For a Lost Soldier' is similar yet more poignant. Not forgetting "The Night Porter" ....somewhat a homage to "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" too .......
