This is a grotesquely beautiful, amazingly unpleasant movie. It reminds me of the Takeshi Kitano stuff I’ve seen, with the sadism of the Takeshi Miike I’ve seen, along with more Hollywood movies like Fight Club and even the original Matrix.

I don’t really know what to say about it after one viewing… it’s shocking, beautiful, intensely visceral, with a beautiful score, great use of classical music, and amazing visuals.
