This film gives highbrow a bad name.

A great film but only for intellectuals. For the local Friday/Saturday night crowd at the Odeon this film was a total turn off! What is the point of making films that only pander to the university/intellectual set? Surely films should have a universal appeal? I admire the acting and the sets but there are plenty of parts that repulse: the torture scenes and the plastic surgery disaster. Ugh!

I don't like Edvard Munch The Scream. It's too abstract, it makes me want to think, and I don't want to think.
I want to be entertained. I want bread and circuses. And if I can't have Bread I will accept Cake.
I've been accused of being pompous and verbose so I will say --Sit On It !

Yes, please make all films the same. Any differences should be lopped off. Symmetry, that's the only yardstick!
