The comments for this movie in reviews and forums are almost as interesting as the film itself.


Just notice how much this movie polarizes audiences, and there are people who don't enjoy but greatly admire it, others hugely dislike it and are offended by it, people fight and argue over if it should be forbidden whereas others curse censorship.

All the talks about how bad rape is and the scene etc whereas others feel that because of all its horrors, it should be shown and people all must be aware of it.

And similar talks about violence and other material. The debates on whether or not the film is homophobic whereas on the other side, massive talks and controversies over its depictions of gay sex and the fact that its club was named "Rectum".

And even techniques like the spinning camera work inspires some and irritates others.

And you can't help but wonder if it was intentionally made to inspire similar controversial debates?
