Superb black comedy, with the emphasis on black.

Rating: 9/10 (11 May 2015)

This is a brilliant, essentially flawless movie--really cinema raised up to the level of true art and poetry.
So why aren't I rating it a full ten? Because while I like black comedies, and this definitely qualifies as one of the best, it was just too grim for me, at least on the night I watched it.
Everything about this movie is really great, but it is really black, and not in a playful or tongue-in-cheek way, but in a very dark contemplative fashion. The comedy is pretty good but only interspersed here and there, and is not a dominant part of this movie.
Without a doubt this is a superb movie, but it is essentially a serious, sort of philosophical movie with a fair amount harsh and realistic violence. As long as you know what you are getting yourself into, you'll likely enjoy this movie, but be forewarned, it is much more black than comedy.
