Extraordinarily grisly short film (part of a trilogy) that has been mistakenly (in perhaps the most indefensible case of wish fulfillment ever) cited as a work of art in some circles, (Then again, there was a point in time when “The Devil in Miss Jones” was favorable compared to Bergman instead of identified as the rank piece of pornography it is.) when in fact it is an obvious example of aesthetic judgment run berserk. With torture porn,
supporters of the field find enjoyment in the masochistic endurance of viewing the elimination of human empathy from an exhibition of sadistic bloodletting, while critics may cluck their tongues at the moral superiority of castigating such extremes of acceptable human behavior (by both the audience and the film’s protagonists) which is far too easy a moral soapbox to mount as what is the difficulty or courage of judgment it takes to disapprove of rampant cold blooded carnage as entertainment?

Ahh yes, I remember seeing this one many years ago, at the time it was pretty unbearable.
A few years after seeing it I remember seeing the director on a show critiquing the authenticity of apparent alien autopsy videos (in Spanish of course).
Thanks for the walk down nostalgia lane 🙂
Now that’s interesting. Sounds like he’s taken up autopsies as a hobby. Perhaps it’s better to stick to philately.
