There are so many biases and predispositions that are associated with this film it's hard to be fair. While I can appreciate the vision and heart that went into Passion, it's difficult to get past the horrible nature of the movie. This is a bit like watching a train wreck. The absolute brutality present in the movie is horrifying, but somehow you find yourself pressing on even though it borders on obsene. This really takes violence to an all new level. I don't think I can recommended this film based simply on that. It's an amazing work, but also disgusting at the same time. |
