Negative Positive
Title: Sadness and Porno
Review: I'm always searching to addto my Asian horror movie collectionand the reviews led me to believethat this would be a good one to add.I will offer a rebuttal to100% positive reviews(as of this writing).I do agree that the plotis interesting.Definitely worthy ofexamination and discussion.Some of the imagery was quitegood, but not great.The opening shot held muchpromise, but that was thebest there was.This film was unrelentinglymelancholic.The music, the cinematography,the characters, the images...across the boardand it included three scenesof soft core sexual pornography.The film-maker kept most ofthe violence off-screen.That worked as it usually does.Why not the sex?That usually works also.To flesh out the non-linearplot and find some of thedeeper themes, if any,I would need to see themovie again,but I don't want to.It's depressing.
Is the review positive or negative?
