I watched this during the day but I must give it another go in the early hours of the morning to see how freaky it might be. As others have said, the first segment has a naked woman with her abdomen cut open (actually a darn good effect without any noticeable CGI) and an eyeball fished out to signify... I haven't a clue lol. Before this happens some words flash up about the functionality of the brain etc. The movie plays like some nightmare you may have, and doesn't make a lot of sense, but I'm all for originality, I found it very interesting, but I don't shock much at all with things that are fabricated, so it could be a bit disturbing for some.
The second scene has a guy who's impregnated his sister planning to kill the unborn baby. He plays with the sperm on his hands as he masturbates later watching her lying in her room. I must say, there is some wonderful music in this section, a lot of it reminiscent of the old Italian horror flicks I've seen. And some of the imagery is quite beautiful, the dialogue also makes some (very dark) sense. The entire act is driven by the incest which took place, and the pregnancy afterwards. There was something very enthralling about it all. Eventually the brother brews a hatred for his sister after experiencing her bleeding. There's certainly some very mature film- making here and Hollywood could never, ever, make something like this. The birth scene is intercut with that of a caught fish and her brother murders the baby as it emerges pulling it out and dripping it's blood in his sister's face. The brother rejoices at his killing a baby "during the process of creation" although given that a baby is created long before this, that point is a little lost. He then puts the dead baby on a shelf and his sister dies. Some mention of necrophilia then is inferred.
I didn't really find any of it shocking. I'm not sure why. It certainly held my attention, but I can see why many would be freaked by this second part. Luckily, not many will ever witness this movie however so not too much to worry about.
Act three has some nude folk seemingly making love to a field (yeah really). The field bleeds too when it's pulled open. Nope, I dunno what that was about. The life within nature maybe? Nothing wrong with a bit of environmentalism, but I'll draw the line at earth sex lol. Some twigs even bleed when broken, while the people lick it up. Maybe it's saying we are vampires sucking the life blood from the planet? Is that what it meant? Duh, I dunno.
Next part opens with a hardcore sex scene (real and in close up) on a screen. Some guy sits masturbating to it. He orgasms, then goes to bed. Here he dreams that his penis is getting pulled apart by fish hooks and blood is flying out with reams of religious imagery and a cross melted down for drugs and injected in his head (yeah I got that bit, religion sure is some people's opium). There's then some jebus like character getting licked and bitten/ cut by naked women (if you believe in this myth you might be insulted) finishing with him getting his entrails ripped out and a naked woman rubbing herself with them. Again, I'm an atheist so water off a ducks back to me. He then seems to come back (like in the other tale) and gets a big stick shoved up his bloody bum. Yeah, I guess they were trying to shock here lol.
Finally the original guy appears bathing in a river which might indicate some kind of rebirth, but the movie finishes with him lying (dead?) in bed with two faces and fangs demonstrating the first concept of the movie about the right and left hemispheres of the brain and their function. Phew, and that's it.
Was it pretentious? Just a little. But it had some fine gore so I might forgive it. Art-Horror, whatever next?
