The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989)
Never has an exercise in disgusting the viewer looked so lovely
The filmmaker attempts to disgust the viewer in every way immaginable: rotting food, murder, castration, sticking forks into faces, and the grande finale -- you guessed it, cannibalism! I agree that the scenes, lighting, and color are wonderful, but I just got the impression that the director was in the back of the theater, chortling over what he could force everyone to watch. The only reason it doesn't get a 1 rating from me is the guy chopping the zuchinni at 90 MPH. If you think that's shallow, go see the movie.

Utterly Forgettable
I saw this movie with a friend. Immediately after leaving the theater, he asked, "what was that movie about?" I racked my brains and could only remember one seen where the lead lady is crossing between two buildings on a rickety ladder. The movie can't be very good if you suppress over 99% of it.
