Thriller - En grym film (1973)
Loved the movie...but I hated the porn.
What can I say I loved the movie. It's one of the best revenge flicks ever. Shot beautifully. Some scenes seem to take on a some what dreamy quality yet still seem grounded in reality. The fact that there is basically no music seems to kick up the realism a notch or two. Basically what I'm driven at is, see the damn movie. However, be prepared for the horrific porn inserts. I don't care what anyone says, it does not heighten the drama of the scenes. It merely takes away from them. Making the film seem like a big joke. They don't feel right in the movie, the movie seems classy in a way and those scenes lack class. The way the rape scene in the beginning of the film was handled makes it seem like someone else put those porn scenes in. The rape scene in the beginning was done artfully and tastefully. They could of did the later rape scenes more artfully and that would of elevated the drama in those scenes. Those porn shots seem like they were some sort of a gimmick to get more publicity because we all know any publicity is good publicity. It's an amazing film if you can get around the porno. Don't get me wrong I like my porn as much as the next guy maybe even more but keep it out of my films. Movies are meant to be art and porn is just...well, porn. Oh yeah, there is no need for the love butter. Utterly disgusting.
