Vengence Seeks Revenge
Disturbing. Shocking. Repulsive. Powerful. Filmed nearly documentary style, with very little musical score, this film has a sense of urgency, of power, and of helplessness. Loosely based on a true storey (AKA: The Day of the Woman) this film was banned just about everywhere and is not for everyone. There are extremely graphic rape scenes in this film. They are so shocking that they seem real. After being brutalized, beaten, raped, and tortured (the entire first 48 minutes of the movie) she cleans herself up, and seeks revenge. What she went through, no jury would convict her. Believe me, her revenge is sweet, savage, shocking, graphic, and just desserts to her assailants. Wow! Some argue that this film exploited women. These people didn't wait until the end.
