I literally fell in love with this movie as soon as I discovered it, back in 1999. It is depressing, gritty, painful, disgusting, disturbing but so terrific, because not destined to wide audiences. So, if I was you, I would avoid to show it to my family in law - and family too - for lunch or supper, around the poultry. This is a true masterpiece, a real must see, as also will be IRREVERSIBLE, which I will comment later. It is a powerful hit in the face, breaking your nose, your conscience, a film that will leave wounds in your spirit, your soul, and for a very long time. The way of filming can evoke Jean-Pierre Jeunet. But certainly not the story, the meaning; a meatchopper for mind, for brain functionning. An absolute must see. Philippe Nahon's best role.
