Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
lokhandes Okay first of all those who are saying this movie is powerful, strong......you guys are out of your mind this is completely pointless movie .. i don't think there is any connection of WW2 with this movie. i think director only want to show his own sick fantasies and nothing else. completely waste of time even though i have watched more sick movies than this, i cant tolerate this one, because same thing repeat again and again and then it starts to irritate you. a complete pointless movie i don't know why some people rated it 9 or 10.
cyberjoshy-49579 Disgusting and boring. Seriously dont be curious like i was, just dont watch this.
Filipe Neto This movie is, at the very least, difficult to classify or judge. It is signed by one of the most controversial Italian filmmakers, Pier Paolo Pasolini, a man whose life was brutally marked by World War II, in which he lost his brother, killed in action. The fact that the film focuses on this period and have the Italian fascists as villains seems to me a form of political statement, as if the filmmaker were trying to use the film to express rage over the war and his hatred of the Italian fascists. This becomes more logical if we consider that Pasolini was also a Communist who was only expelled from the party after being, allegedly, caught up having sex with a minor boy in public, which makes him not only a homosexual but also a pederast and, perhaps, an exhibitionist. So, Pasolini wasn't a sympathetic and conventional figure that everyone liked, and the same thing happens with this film, almost as controversial and brutal as its creator, in that it joins Pasolini and the infamous Marquis de Sade, author of the original novel that gave base to the plot.The plot is simple: the Fascists imprison dozens of young Italians for a session of torture and permanent humiliation that will last about 120 days. There are about an hour of eschatological or pornographic scenes which, I believe, will have many kinds of metaphorical or symbolic explanation in the eyes of today's amorphous pseudo-intellectuals. But for me a pile of feces is a pile of feces, not an allegory for the pains of society, or capitalism, or anything else. That's an ill-smelling explanation for shocking scenes which I'm unwilling to swallow, however much the experts, full of their natural arrogance, may look at me with disdain. No. Even art has to know reasonable limits. To make matters worse, the film is depressing, it is deeply negative about almost everything.If there is any technical and artistic competence in this film is something I have not yet fully evaluated, but I am willing to give Pasolini the benefit of the doubt at that particular point. The fact is that, even if there is art here, the overall of the movie turns out to be so bad, so depressing, manic and disturbing that it's not really worth the effort to watch it.
joserobertomendoza 428/5000 Depressing, horrible, sick and above all with a conception of the most twisted thing I have ever seen, at the height of the human centipede, a tragedy as far as the seventh art is concerned. I do not understand how they can make such bad films. The winner, the torture, the hatred, the vengaza, the prostuticion, and the loser always the poor, the young, the innocent. It is perverse the director and especially the plot, overwhelming. Horrible, awful, immoral, fatal, waste your time
