It's an amazing film and I think over the passage of time it's started to get the artistic recognition it deserves as opposed to simple, knee-jerk outrage and controversy. Whether this is down to the fact that since it's release the bounds of taste have been stretched even further by Buttgereit, Guinea Pig, Serbian efforts, AU etc I don't know. Certainly deserves a permanent place in film history
