Slow Moving but Complex
mahatma_phanishwar2 September 2005
Sudden lack of money has flipped the pair's dependency. Unable to pay her maid for several months, -- not to say that it is not engaging, by all means it absolutely is. Particularly if you consider the sound of an electronic buzzer that goes on and off sporadically in place of a soundtrack, the sight of naked children being stuffed into closets, naked children being wrapped in celophane, a full-grown midget decapitating a dead naked child, dead infant corpses being used as home furnishings, and lots of child pornography taking place in a dodgy mortuary slab environment, it is quite possibly the most involving video I've seen in a while. On many levels, the directors, actors, and all involved, regardless of whatever sociopolitical significance this movie attempted to create, should be warmly applauded for making this movie.

The HPA Axis, it is said, plays a delicate balancing act to provide the film-goer with proper levels of various glutimates, enzymes and phosphates (serotonin, dopamine, cortisol, epinephrine . . . ) and I think it not impossible that such films screw with this delicate imbalance, which may, in the latent pychotic, already be teetering. Some can't deal with the severity of what a brain goes through when faced with themes of this nature. They *crash* --there is a bending and eventual snapping of the Mind. Like I said --phychosis or emotional stimuli in a untoward combination: and "abnomalies" result. In summation, if viewing the atrocities depicted in this film incites an erection: Seek help.

Note: For the record, there are two versions: only black-and-white which is under 3 minutes, another just under 4 in poor-quality sepia tone. They are both equally bad, though it's best to watch them back-to-back starting with the B&W one.
