Theatre of Horrors: The Sordid Story of Paris' Grand Guignol

Or play theater? Well no pun intended either way for sure ... after the clones of Bruce Lee and a documentary about a mostly unknown (at least to the western world) Asian horror queen ... we get a glimpse into a shows that you might want to be part of ... or at least have experienced ... apparently they are getting a renaissance ... at least there seem to be some cities or some people who go around serving people ... and their desires ... and then some.

The documentary is well researched (so many years from concept to the screen) and edited ... not to mention reconstructed ... there is no real footage (film) from back in the day when this was the hot topic ... and only a handful survivors are in this .. or rather "witnesses" ... still it is nice to hear from everyone ... and even have stop motion/claymation round things up ... there is a German saying that states that in the old days everything was better ... I am not sure this documentary is really proving that point .. it does however show a past that was quite interesting to say the least!
