So yeah, I started watching this and somehow or other I ended up watching the credits roll. That already puts it ahead of most movies. Partly I was just sort of fascinated, like watching a car wreck. Kind of wondering what would happen next I suppose. But at the same time I was genuinely entertained.
The dialogue is quite intelligent and very well delivered. And the story is interesting although tricky to follow if you don't speak the language and are depending on subtitles. Some very good acting by basically everyone. It's very fast paced which probably keeps you from being overwhelmed. You just don't get a chance to get mired in trying to figure out wtf is going on. I think there is a message behind this madness but I'm not sure I understand it.
Which brings us to Experimental. It is a very non-linear film at times. The story doesn't start at the beginning but it does end with an ending, more or less. There are many many many jump cuts. With dialogue split at times between several different actors and even the crew stands in at times. The crew/camera is sometimes visible filming the scene, as if it's a movie about making a movie. Sometimes a scene is split between 2 different locations with the actors being in a different state of appearance and cutting back and forth between the two quite rapidly. I could probably say more here. But I won't.
And that leaves Exploitation. And boy oh boy is there a lot of naked flesh on display! Both male and female full nudity with a few closeups. There is some implied homosexual content. There is a lot of swearing.
There is so much nudity that at first it seems like it's purely for titillation. But it isn't just young and attractive people. There are mature and less perfect bodies as well. Quite strangely there is no actual sex in the film. It is mentioned and one girl describes her molestation in somewhat disturbing detail. But there is no actual sex scene. So the nudity is mainly non-sexual in nature. Nonetheless, there are many times when the actors could have worn clothing or even underwear - but they don't. Some scenes seem to be simply included for effect. So yeah there's exploitation.
To bring this to a close: Should you watch this? Certainly! But you will need an open mind. And don't let your children watch it unless you are there to answer their questions.
