The merciless routine of Evil... The film made a very big impression on me, ambiguous, controversial, but certainly one of the most powerful and memorable.
To understand it immediately was very difficult. Here a lot was written about the drawn-out scenes of the film from the very beginning - endless drunkenness, mate, some fights, arguments and clarification of relations from scratch, unsightly sex. .
All this is enough in the ordinary life of an ordinary person. There is no or almost no beauty, little kindness, a lot of negative emotions, and how much repulsive!
In the daily news, we see the same thing. We know all this for ourselves.
This can not be liked and causes only rejection. Those who are used to relax and relax in the cinema, there is nothing to do at all.
But if you abstract as much as possible from what you see in these scenes of the film, and perceive as a kind of newsreel, which, as I understand, the author aspired to, then there is a gradual immersion in a viscous state of sleep and a parallel world, familiar to you and carefully forgotten. Stretching tentacles of abomination and the pressing atmosphere of gray-brown-marsh shades of ordinaryity right to your throat. I want to get out, turn it off, stop watching it. And you can't. Waiting. Not knowing what. Catharsis. . .
And here he comes. Scenes of interrogation with addiction ... I've never seen anything worse. And this is terrible precisely because it is as close as possible to the viewer at the most everyday, ordinary level of perception. You personally, yourself, right here and now feel these smells, this color, these fat hands and eyes, this nightmare, growing, this inability to breathe out and at least for a minute to withdraw from what is happening. It draws you in, draws you in, and you can never say that you do not know.
There was a lot of talk about it being wrong, etc. Nope. There is no doubt. That was exactly what it was.
Terrible. It doesn't make sense. Ruthless. Inevitably. It's disgusting to the bottom of your heart. Monstrous to the very last degree. . .
For me, this film was definitely a landmark.
I will definitely be watching the whole project. Although watching it is very hard and difficult.
