Film is forever.
When the credits on this baby start, you KNOW you're in for a cinematic experience that good or bad, won't soon be forgotten. And it came as no surprise to this viewer that Deodato delivers the goods right off the bat. In the first ten minutes we're treated to no less than ten, good, on-camera mutilations including Lynch having two fingers bitten off by an adolescent barbarian. Needless to say, Deodato doesn't flinch and the camera lovingly takes it all in. Oh boy, we're all sure impressed down here.
