Just Another Marian Dora Film
14 April 2022
While I can't say I'm a fan of Marian Dora, I will admit I have enjoyed atleast a couple of his movies. But in saying that if you seen one of his movies you basically get what his whole schtick is. Lots of real animal violence, real bodily fluids, ultra violence, beautiful photographic style all which basically encompasses the uniquely dark movies that only Dora can make. Like I said before I've only enjoyed a couple of his films before this one Melancholie der Engel and Carcinoma. Every other movie I've seen just doesn't do it for me. To me watching his movies are more of an endurance test than actually fun. And maybe that's the appeal to some because I can tell you every time I watch one of his movies I get nervous about what I'm about to watch, which is a talent that this film maker has the ability to give the viewer. But the problem with this film like so many of his other films is that as effed up as this film is it's also extremely boring! And while the film was messed up I also found myself not caring about most of the violence going on until the last 10 mins. The scene with the pig was way too much for me. But as for the rest I felt like the violence displayed on the actors was some of the phoniest looking scenes Dora has filmed. Again this movie is effed up! But it just didn't shock me like his other movies. And for a movie that was barely an hour it felt like an eternity till it ended. But like I said before that last 10 mins are really messed up and kinda being this whole movie together. Unique film as always but I thought after Carcinoma Dora was gonna start changing his style a bit and make more engaging, cerebral horrors. But atlas this is more of the same old thing. If your a fan of his work I'm sure this'll be worth watching for you. As for me watching this once was enough.
