So bad its good

I agree with the "defies expectations" label. This film gets high marks from me because it is so bizarre. It seems to have a point, although its insanely portrayed. Sex was then and is still now a taboo that is beyond the capability of a large fraction of Americans to deal with. Want proof of that? Just look what happens when sexual peccadilloes of celebrities including politicians are made public. All other interests come to a standstill until that story is taken to its chilling cornclusion. As Oscar Wilde said, he would rather crawl to the North Pole on his knees than have the public know about his sex life. This movie doesn't really confront this issue but does show a nice depiction of the a low-key mob mentality. Why the real people consented to do this movie is a puzzle, but its good they did.
