If you want safe go elsewhere. Anything approaching a normal film American family drama go elsewhere. If you want anything that isn't offensive go elsewhere.
The easiest and least exploitative way to explain the plot is to say a couple is having martial difficulties which explodes and ends up crippling the son. Where the film goes from there is the film.
(Spoilers follow)
Actually where the film goes from there involves castration,rape,incest, masochism ,violence, murder, and riffs on the legendary films PERCY and PERCY's PROGRESS. There are more twists and turns than any sane mind would make.
Oh and did I mention there is no dialog in the entire film?
How is it?
I have no idea. Horrifying? Silly? Strange? I was staring at the screen in disbelief even while I was laughing at the proceedings. Its a whacked out mix of things that kind of almost works and kind of almost doesn't. Its a bold attempt at doing something.
I don't think its successful- but it is interesting in a kind of road accident sort of a way.
Should you see it?
If you like the real off beat and don't mind disturbing things give it ago. On the other hand if you're sensitive or easily offended stay away.
score 6/10
