    Unique masterpiece!

    This movie is a surreal masterpiece by Kim Finn, the infant terrible of Finnish cinema. The film has everything that one could ever hope for: unique love story of the century, surreal or non-existent plot, kick-ass editing, plenty of blood and gore, abuse and torture of women and children, no boring dialogue and the story paces on with the speed of light and has no restrains whatsoever. Pure gold, what more can i say? Tetsuo and Ichi the Killer meets avant-garde art- house cinema, spiced up with the lust for menstruation fluids and fetuses. This movie makes even titles like Irreversible seem like a Sunday picnic in a park on a sunny day. Highly recommended for viewers of all ages. Näitä lisää Kimbe!

    Strange but great

    Dear God, this must be the most controversial film ever made! The poster promised it would break the last taboo, and it sure did... The surreal ending was great! And the toilet scene in the beginning. I've heard the 60 minute version includes more hardcore footage (oh no!). Just loved it, but don't make me watch it again... Is this supposed to be an art movie or trash movie?
