The heart is no longer burning ?Moodysson (Lilya 4-Ever) blowtorched it to oblivion. An irreparable relationship between a father, an amateur pornographer, and his introverted son starts the film, followed by the entrance of a haunted macho man and a budding adult actress. From here, it regresses to graphic sex, drugs and beyond as each display their cruelty via scenes of gynaecological surgeries, uncensored rape and utter humiliation. This raw, angst-filled indictment of the decline of Western civilization takes the themes in his previous films to the extreme, mocking a world where reality TV, greed and violence have utterly destroyed the foundation of all our relationships. 当今导演后起之秀中,穆迪臣是最敢于拆破框框的一个,前作《对面的女孩看过来》与《永远的微笑》(27届)风格殊异,但有一共通点:都在测试电影极限。这一部走得更远。咸片录像导演找来忽得男女,在侷促单位内跟 DV困兽斗,三人无遮大会加酒精作用,变成比萨德笔下还要厉害的性虐行径-不避核突无惧性器官切割。邻房的自闭儿子活在如此疯癫病态里,更无药可救。影片散发难以言喻的怪异气氛,身处其间的导演亦难以把持。观众要有全新体验,最好的心态是豁出去。呼之欲出的批判,当然是欧美成行成市的电视真人show。去年各大小影展话题作。 Source: 29th HKIFF (2005)
