Freeway II: Confessions of a Trickbaby (1999)
exploitation at its finest
to give you an idea of exactly how over the top this movie is heres some of the key elements present:
bulimia/vomiting lesbianism amputees necrophilia serial murder transvestitism child abuse/torture cannibalism prostitution drugs (crack, huffing paint, drinking in the shower)
if you like that sort of thing i can practically guarantee this will become one of your favorite movies ever. Natasha lyonne gives easily her best, funniest performance and any fan of her work should stop at nothing to seek this out (although its not easy). same for Vincent gallo. Matthew brite is a sick genius and this is the most perverse, depraved, funny and entertaining film in his catalog.
Trouble Every Day (2001)
one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen
definitely not for all tastes but if you like your horror truly disturbing and unsettling this movie is your dream come true. the scenes of sexual violence and cannibalism are some of the most brutal I've ever seen and the images truly stay with you long after the movie is over. i saw this in the theater twice and each time more than one audience member got up and left. inherently tragic and, i for one think beautiful, "trouble every day" isn't for a viewer seeking cheap escapist thrills (not that there's anything wrong with that). even fans of claire denis's other work should be warned that its not easy to digest (no pun intended). easily one of the most indelible, disturbing, but also poetic movies I've ever seen. xx
