Title: A lot of nonsense on non sets
Product review: I give the director credit for trying something new. On the other hand, he could not have told the absurd story in a realistic setting. Without the artificiality of the non sets, no one would believe or accept what he had to say. The casting and acting were quite good, however. I am tempted to give the movie another star for that reason but I am too repulsed by the bleak vision of humanity presented here. The moral of the story can only be that if given power over another person, anyone will ferociously use and abuse that person. In this crowd, even the upright philosopher of the group was easily corrupted, while the Kidman character, who was portrayed as a kind of saint full of forgiveness, joined them in their depravity when she got the power. Sorry, this terrible tale has no relationship to the world I live in. I do wish critics would stop automatically anointing all stories of human degradation as art. After watching this one, I felt like I needed a long shower.
