Clearly, The Mutilation Man is about a guy who wanders the land performing shows of self-mutilation as a way of coping with his abusive childhood. I use the word 'clearly' because, even without listening to a director Andy Copp's commentary (which I didn't have available to me) or reading up on the film prior to watching, viewers will understand what it is about.<br /><br />Gorehounds and fans of extreme movies may be lured into watching The Mutilation Man with the promise of some harsh scenes of splatter and unsettling real-life footage, and also,  if they're also fond of genuine, pulse-pounding, experimental art-house cinema, they'll find this one a real joy to sit through.<br /><br />82 minutes of stunning imagery accompanied by symphonic and impressive music and crisp dialogue, this mindblowing masterpiece is the perfect way to spend a few hours: if you've still got all your marbles, you'll watch this till the very end and eschew all other films (I watched the whole thing, and am well aware that I'm completely barking!).
This example is Negative.
