Filth!

Rating: 1/10 (17 June 2014)

There is only one word to describe this movie and that is "Filth!" I had heard about it from movie reviews and other people and decided since it was on TV last night I would watch and see what it was all about. After all, it was an Oscar Winner and had a 40-year old murder mystery.
I should have turned it off from the first time the weird girl gave a report about the sexual tendencies of the "hero" in the movie. From then on, it was a toss up what really was going to be the combination of a sick girl who was getting sicker from rape, torture, bi-sexual relationships and perversions.
The murder mystery turned out to be some convoluted crap with sexual domination and torture. Frankly, you had to find the clues they were "investigating" - AND the fact that they threw in something about the Bible being mixed up with the German torturer did not make it any more endearing to me. Especially when the daughter of the "hero" who was going to Bible camp had to tell her father, "Don't worry. I am not dangerous." What a rot! People who claim to be Christians AND are dangerous are NOT true Christians!
The ending of the 40 year mystery was predictable that I got it early before it was revealed - after all, who was left to be the murderer and it was so obvious about the location of Harriet. And the final culmination of the weird girl traveling in a blonde wig and embezzling money was never quite understandable. What did she do with the money? Keep it? Frankly, to me this was nothing more than an excuse to lay all of Sweden's society's dung heap lifestyle out before the world and shock the pants (literally) off everyone watching.
Seeing how many sexual partners and lack of emotion behind any of the characters in the film in and out of bed, it is not surprising, I must say, that Sweden has one of the highest rate of HIV in the world.
This film was disgusting and perpetuates that all perversions which are horrendous are basically OK as long as it feels right! Oh, and don't forget to watch out for the Christians! Filth, with a capital F!
