    This film really is a troublesome one. It is at turns a sublime managerie of images and a grotesque carnival geek show. The director is at turns a genius and a pervert. The works of genius make the film worth seeing. There are things to love here. The film has the bizarre and wonderful images only a surrealist film can offer. There are things to hate. The director's infatuations with human waste are disgusting, not ingenious. Also, there is some unsettling oedipal stuff. There are things we don't know whether to love or hate. In a nativity scene, the Christ child has his genitals pierced with long sticks. A young boy is shot to death by a firing squad. There is a scene of cannibalism. This film pushes art to its extremes, and I'm sure it crosses the line between art and pornography many times. Of course, Un Chien Andalou did the same things in its time. It's ingenious art, or perverse pornography, or (probably) both. You have the right to be curious.

    roughly made; very bizarre...crude with minimal redeeming qualities. I hesitate to say it is a slice of life...because there was cannibal;ism *is that the body and blood of christ?) There are better ways to spend your time unless this if your genre....
