Ouch

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2006)

The reviews of this movie on this site are great, and I don't want to belabor the point that this was an astoundingly wonderful and incredibly disturbing and upsetting film. I have to say that this movie upset me and affected me more than any other I've seen. Just to think about the fact that people really do this to themselves really gives me the creeps. The film was beautifully done and I especially loved the split screen scenes. This film is unique in every way. In the most beautiful scene in the movie, our two lovers are in bed together talking, and the camera shows in such a magnificent way their love for each other, by panning over their bodies and showing them tenderly touching each other. This is when you really learn about their relationship and their love for each other, and it just kills you to see the heroin addiction rip them apart in so many ways as individuals and as a couple. Actually, just about every aspect of this movie kills you. It will leave you speechless, breathless, and really make you think about your life in a different way.
