This film is definitely disgusting and disturbing. I wouldn't call this a problem, by any means. The problem occurs, when you fail to see any point to it's disturbing/disgusting nature. It all seems to be pure shock value, which would have been fine in campy low-budget flick with no artistic pretense. But this film tries to fool you into thinking it is actually art. Yet, when you scratch the mixture of blood, schnapps, fecal matter, and sexual inadequacy that is the surface of this work, you don't find any substance.
All that being said, the acting and cinematography are brilliant.
