cruelty was horrendous. Considering the title, the director may have been trying to make a statement about the current state of the war between the sexes. No quarter, indeed.
Follow Ups:
When you overbuild, the poignancy disappears. He should have done it more gently, then the effect would be stronger. But that was his first, I believe, film.Ditto for the war of sexes - it is grossly overstated. I think the sexes exist in a much better harmony today... except is few tilted minds. Therefore the main thrust of the film will leave some (most?) viewers puzzled - it is unreal.
Grotesque is tricky thing, it needs to be done very tastefully.
But all in all, here's a movie that makes you think a bit.
