As I mentioned before, I have had it in my queue ever since it became available, and in spite of your enticing, I kept it locked there... passing by from time to time, but refusing to press that darn Play button. Like a scrooge keeping the last good bottle locket forever... I knew that day would come.With my wife away for a few days the chance presented itself, and I delved into the film's cold, cold atmosphere like an aspiring masochist, screaming from pain and yet coming back for more.
The film is one relentless torture from start to finish, just as I expected it to be... and just as I expected, I became glued to it, unable to walk away. I watched it in segments, as the torture called for breaks, and every time I screamed "Please stop it!" I instantly got absorbed again.
Tin put it well in his review, and I also urge any prospective viewer to read about the film before letting it roll, for this is most definitely not an easy viewing.
It is an incredible film, easily one of the greatest masterpieces of the last two decades.
So addictive it is, that as soon as it ended, I started it again.
