Visually stunning, virtually unwatchable

Rating: 5/10 (19 February 2002)

I saw this movie after seeing it's high rating. I had expected it to be a difficault movie to watch, but some of the scenes are still in my head several weeks after watching it. Is that a good thing? I'm not so sure. I know that cinema should be challenging sometimes, but to the point of audience revulsion?
If you have a strong stomach, and all the movies that are supposed to be shocking have proved to be an easy nights viewing, give this a go.

Otherwise, stick to Seven and Fight Club as they are just as stunning to watch but won't make you feel quesy for hours afterward !!!
