Y'ever see the Pasolini flick "120 Days of Sodom"?
Sick sick, shit.
Reminds me of Abu Ghraib prison. 'Cept worse, obviously.

good movie and well made

not enjoyable though

Film Four Extreme - agree
somewhat disappointing

They did show Tetsuo though. I was shattered at the time and didn't get to see it all though. Didn't appear to have much of a plot (not that that's a bad thing) apart from people have body parts replaced by metal bits.

i thought salo was complete and utter bollocks. Best movie film four extreme showed was Man Bites Dog.

Funny, that; I thought it was hilarious.
"Mangia, MANGIA"!!

The book is more "transgressive" (to use that ridiculous postmodern terminology) than the film, and for a very simple reason, which we couldn't dare mention, for fear of offending some readers....

Back on topic,
I quite like Miike's films, although, after seeing the lot of "Dead or alive" and "Shinjuku Triad Society" in practically one sitting (Thats 6 installments, last count), I think I've had enough of that kind of stuff. I loved "Audition" (or "Odishun", as our Japanese friends call it), great atmosphere and photography, and thought the best part of Katakuris was the mental 15 minutes animation intro. Pity about the film.

I see we have a few Sade and Mirbeau fans among us, I can recommend both Renoir & Bunuel's films of "Diary of a chambermaid", subtle, funny and caustic as hell.

Vibes & Scribes have a few for rent, and the Ichi the Killer anime for selling.

the guy in the background looks like the murderer from 'Attack of the Cockface Killer'

i can only hope that it's a sequel

Saw "Audition" the other night. Great film. Lulls one into a false sense of bordom. Kirikirikirikiri...

I thought "the hapiness of the katakuris" was shite. I just didnt get it... Too overblown.

I love de Sade's "Sodom", I have read it several times now and found it genuinely enjoyable, entertaining and hillarious.

"Salo" I haven't seen, but have heard is fairly tame... still would be interested in seeing it.
