This film never ceases to make me writhe and wiggle around in my seat. A grandiose, gorgeous, indulgent, and often repulsive spectacle; also a passionate and fiery condemnation of the gluttony of power, especially that of ruling bodies. Consider that this film was made in the waning days of Thatcherism, a regime often criticized for its cannibalization of the lower class. This movie is one of those rare gut-punches, hitting you fast and hard, and with purpose. With gorgeous cinematography, incredible formalist sets (and costumes by Jean-Paul Gaultier), fantastic acting, and a gut-wrenching finale, this is always a must-see for fans of potent, powerful cinema.

Seconded.

One of the most incredibly vile yet stunning looking films ever made. Albert Spica is a demigod!

And welcome back, Fort!
