This is one of the most dreary, unpleasant, and pretentious movies I've ever seen. Every character in it is a freak of one kind or another. Is there any place in real life that's entirely populated by people like this? The scenes include a frog inflated and exploded, a man commits suicide in front of his wife and child, a crazed mother abusing her younger son and making a pass at her older son, and a child seeing a woman stimulate herself. Who wants to watch that? Oh, I admit that there is some very good atmosphere and that the photography and music are right. But so what? I didn't enjoy one moment of this film. The culprits who made it are just determined to rub the audiences' noses in the gutter. I could feel their contempt for me and everyone who watched this movie. To those who enjoyed this movie, it's your life and I'm glad I'm not part of it.
