from a feminist perspective, i'm sure many religious people will have problems with it, but it is interesting film—making. it's going to be offensive? i think if you think it's going to be offensive to you, you'll know and you won't go to see it. i don't think anyone that goes to see this, knowing paul verhoeven and knowing what we've just seen, is going to be surprised by what they see. they're going partly for shock value, but also, charlotte rampling's in this. it's a great exploration of power dynamics as well. i mean, you know, i definitely have my issues with it, but still really glad i saw it. found it very entertaining. and i do think it's worth watching if you're interested in cinema. and also, that story. it does look, as i said, visually very, very stunning, doesn't it? another movie that we're coming onto, murina, also looks beautiful. i went to see this again last night in the cinema because i'd only ever seen it on the small screen and i wanted to see it on the big screen. it's set in croatia, on the dalmatian coast, and absolutely beautiful. this is like going on a holiday, watching this film.
