Review of The Sadness

The Sadness (2021)
7/10
I am a fan of transgressive art, but movies like this make it complicated

While the trailer definitely portrays a more gentle approach to the genre, the movie itself forgets this pretty much immediately. Not that the trailer hid the true colors of the movie, but it was not exactly what I was expecting, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Once upon a time someone (I forget who) explained B-movies as choosing being shocking above all else. That's this movie. There is a plot, but it is not important. What's important to the movie is that in each scene the filmmaker tried his best to find the most shocking thing he can do without being completely censored.

Because of this, the plot is flimsy, but it's up to you whether this matters at all. If you find the kind of breaking of rules, this movie does constantly, entertaining, then this is the movie for you. If not, avoid it.
