A thought-provoking film adaptation of a play that is itself a paraphrasing of American Psycho.

What makes it extremely interesting and worth to watch is that it is placing the original story in the framework of today's often cruel TV-shows, those that do not care about the methods, only about the effects.

Parallel with it, the film also suggests the responsibility of society itself, as the receptive agent of media products, a multitude sharing the act of committing media's sins by remaining silent or even becoming cooperative.

The film's imagery is intensive, shocking, sometimes even brutal and horrifying. It is capable to make us laugh loudly on the miserable nature of media reality, while surely no one will leave the theater untouched and without a bang in the head.

For me, the film is comparable to Bad Boy Bubby, in its crude beauty and naturalism, but also in its employing of both extremely comic and extremely tragic elements.

A shocking movie commenting on the effect of childhood on one's life, but also on how a shaky, biased and controversial is the overused category: "mad". It shows how dependent our judgement is on the circumstances and also that after all, it might also happen that the other side of existence (that of "mad people") may be at least as valid and natural as the regular one.

While the movie underlines the difference childhood can make, and shows its effects later on (for example Bubby's affection towards large tits - a sign of Oedipal Complex), it also points out that love and care are such key factors that even "wonders" can happen if they are present.

The plot itself is very well done, with a lot of suspension, twists and secrecy, employing humor, black humor, satire, irony and absolutely serious monologues, just to mention a few.

All in all, it is a must to see for anyone daring to face provocation and a multitude of shocks.
