Get over it...
Geez...Get over it people. What is most offensive about this piece of trash if not the rape footage, but rather its ability to manipulate us into thinking this is important in any way. It is badly done, strictly manipulative and in no way worthy of discussion (see, I am being ironic). If you want to witness the true horror of rape, see Kubrick's 'Clockwork' or 'Better Days'. C'mon--kitsch is kitsch and trash is trash and this definitely falls in the latter category. This is offensive not because of its IQ-reducing and blatantly ludicrous aesthetic, but because it is still in the repetoire of horror films(??!!) And the little critique from Cannes speaks volumes to the paucity of good films and postmodern French sensibilities in reviewing films. Let this piece of crap die on the slaughterbench of history--please!!
