Symbolic Visionary masterwork or nicely filmed gratuitous shocker?

certainly had me scratching my head. Is it saying Women are bad? Is it saying Evil is real? In the end it saw it as a well shot horror film. Graphic probing some extreme situational possibilities but despite the obvious homage shots to David Lynch I did not find myself provoked to endeavor answering any Mysteries.

Did I miss the invitation? I know as an American I've been Dumbed Down substantially so maybe the Image eludes my sight. If its just a sort of Adult updated re-telling in amalgamation of some old folk tales that's fine for what it is.

I did not find the controversial "sex" scenes as controversial but that's not surprising in light of what lies a few mouse clicks away from here in all its high definition splendor.. maybe he just wanted to out-do "Hard Candy"?
