That is a pretty good review Victor,I'd go further and say when a talented director is given artistic freedom, the results are pretty impressive. Interestingly, there aren't that many acts of violence graphically depicted, but the results of that violence are.
The jerky, camera movement, muting of the sound etc. work very well to make you frightened- anticipating the horrors is as bad as witnessing them.
As I said- I'm not sure I'd like to see it again. There is one scene where a lot of people walked out of the cinema- it won't spoil it for you if I tell you it involved the death of an animal- not a human being. Funny you should mention "rape"- an unforgettable scene involving that subject as well, again you see the aftermath, not the act.
Remembering this film is almost like what dealing with repressed memories must be like !
This is the film which destroys any notion of heroism in war- there is only death and destruction, physical and spiritual.
Definitely not for the faint-hearted.
