Nightmarishly violent and excruciatingly unending, riding recklessly forward on a tide of extreme contrasts, this film is a provocative representation of the fabric of which life has been and is still (alas) truly made. Worth watching from beginning to end. Those who are not afraid, not paranoid, not anxiety-ridden, are the truly delusional.
