It gives me the chance to explore the kind of films that audiences wouldn't have see or that aren't available to them.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-51393763120682146332015-05-19T10:11:08.263-07:002015-05-19T10:11:08.263-07:00I'm so far behind on Cannes films.

The film is very tough to watch, especially the closing scenes which made my stomach turn and turn...but this is nothing compared to the rape in Irreversible.

The sound design as you mentioned does stand out, and made me jump a lot when watching it. I dont know which is more rough. This or Ireversible. Im choosing Irreversible I nominated you for Dragon's Loyaty Award. https://videovortex.wordpress.com/2015/05/18/the-vern-honors-some-great-online-critics/TheVernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00712756384665520547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-22909082302305399462015-05-18T15:23:14.397-07:002015-05-18T15:23:14.397-07:00Agreed.

That is a performance that isn't afraid to be polarizing and certainly takes a lot of guts to play that character.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-70265705017911626312015-05-18T14:10:20.114-07:002015-05-18T14:10:20.114-07:00I really appreciate this film too.
