I never saw the movie, but I read the book randomly my freshman year of high shool and found it fascinating, but yes, truly disturbing. I almost don't want to see the movie for fear of how someone else's nightmare of that book manifests visually.
But then again, isn't it the most unsettling propositions that artists set forth that cause us to actually think and question the ordinary, meriting true artistic value?
I have found that there are two types of "disiturbing movies"-those that motivate you and those that leave you feeling incredibly empty and just plain scarred.
8mm was definitely one that left me just plain scarred. And Cory, I should warn you that Virgin Suicides may leave you with the latter emotion as well. But do see it!
And anything with violence against animals seems to leave me livid. I saw a Spanish film that has now been put out on video with subtitles called
Amores Perros which involved a lot of dog fighting set in poverty stricken Mexico and I couldn't stomach certain scenes. You know, basically anything where some innocent animal dies is just awful.
