i make this short for i haven´t much time. this is one of the gutsiest films i ever saw, it´s new, it´s original, it´s a masterpiece. of course, it´s nothing for the AMERICAN BEAUTY whimps who are easily satisfied or offended. there´s nothing glamorous or nice about it, it´s a gut-wrenching attack on everything. ewen bremner gives one of the finest performances in the last decade, herzog is great, sevigny and neumann as well. but again, you have to be in the frame of mind. if not, well...too bad.
