…I gotta say, Mr Dora really isn't a fan of the human body. Or he at least enjoys butchering it. I heard somewhere that he is a surgeon and it shows! Certain shots of this movie made me very aware of the fact that we're all meat. Ready to be hacked up. What a lovely thought! Dora likes to get up close and personal with these shots of butchery. But of course this is typical of him. Still, it's enough to make hardened gore hounds cringe, as I certainly was. This is an uncomfortable movie to watch. You'll be disturbed for sure!

As a contrast the score was beautiful. Really beautiful actually. In a similar vein to Melancholie der Engel but nicer. Some beautiful shots as well. I'm not sure if there is a deep message in this or if Dora was trying to say something particular, naturally is was probably lost on me since it wasn't in English. Though it's not as arty as Melancholie, and not as long either. Thank goodness! At 74 mins, it doesn't over stay its welcome. The pacing is so much better then it's predecessor, something I was very grateful for.

There isn't as much animal cruelty in this one, but it does feature a rather unpleasant scene where the guy guts some sort of eel or sea creature. There's also enough sadism, rape and torture to keep most extreme fans disturbed, all the while getting them to listen to pretty music to boot.

Apparently this movie was shot in less then a week and was only made on a budget of $10,000. Now that's an incredible effort! Well done Mr Dora! Even though I didn't understand a word of this movie, I gotta admit that that's impressive!

Check it out if you're interested, it's definitely eye opening and disturbing for sure!
