Lunacy/Sileni (2005)
Directed by Jan Svankmajer (who did the great Little Otik) this is a joint czech/slovak venture based on the writings of Poe and De Sade. The huge downfall of this movie is the animated meat scenes-these happen every two or three minutes throughout the film and though they don't last long they are hugely irritating and become unwatchable after about 20mins in the movie. I understand that the director was trying for something inventive but it's the frequency of them that let's the film down-it would have worked better had there just been only two or three of these and they lasted longer. Anyway besides that this is a reasonable film. Plenty of blasphemy for sade fans but not enough control and punishment-the few scenes of those there are come at the end and are too rushed through. Therefore the film fails in it's objective of showing a view of freedom vs control which is unbalanced in favour of the freedom ideology. Nevertheless the film does make some great points about lunatics running the asylum (on diffeent levels) and just who are the lunatics after all?Flawed but not bad.
