Feeling in your gut(land)

I get it! If you like things to be more coherent, this may not really be your thing. And I don't even mean that you may like things spoon fed to you (although I am not judging either), but that this is as surreal as they come. I am even going to pretend to say I understood or can break the movie down entirely. There is so much that can be interpreted and are ripe for another viewing ... and even then, it would be up to the viewer.

The movie is quite sexual and quite violent. Sometimes both at the same time ... and weird too. Well the situations it creates around abuse and/or intercourse/sexuality ... they fit right into the whole surreal enviroment. They add to the mood and they also tell a story - a genre piece from Germany that works. Something I like to say rather than dislike an effort made here, because there aren't many of these types of movies made - comedies and dramas pay off better, especially when it comes to making money for the producers.

So if you can relish in a very good but also very strange (for all the right reasons) movie from Germany
