Eh. Decent atmosphere, a few okay scenes, great Morricone music, way too long, what do you want me to say? I was looking forward to watching it for 5 years, could barely get through the whole thing while watching it (not because I was disturbed, because I was bored!). I'd read the De Sade book it's based on; the movie is about 5% as disturbing as the book. I dunno. Just not much to like about it. I know that was the point, but I dunno, I try to evaluate films based upon how they entertain me, or make me think. I guess it's probably an unconventional film, and kinda interestingly-structured, but it just goes on and on. I kinda found it comedic by the end, just how ridiculous it was, old men with binoculars and shit watching these "atrocities". I kept thinking "OHHHHHH THE HORRROR!!!!!" Like, come on.
I dunno, I just wasn't impressed. Maybe because I'd already seen KICHIKU DAI ENKAI... now if you want a truly disturbing, soul sucking movie..
