October 30, 2008Another version of the Armin Meiwes story, except this one IS the ground-breaking film I expected from this story.
The mix of sound and image is positively hypnotizing, and the little dialogue there is has been expertly placed. Once we do get dialogue, this is the high caliber o...( read more) -
June 3, 2008This movie was almost hard for me to watch and that's saying something since I feel I can watch anything. I've never seen gay porn before so watching this movie kinda reassured me that I'll probably not go that route, but again, I'll watch anything.

Needless to say, this film takes role playing to a depraved level, yet there is a weird sort of beauty to the relationship these two share. Not for, well, just about anyone, this is one film that truly cha...( read more)
