edit

reading up on it. i really don't think i'm going to like it, , sounds a bit sick and disgusting even for me. must becoming a bit of a prude. if i decide to sell it will be going for £15

You might be surprised, Trebor - it's by no means a Sunday afternoon matinee type affair, but nor is it a shit pit of depravity. In fact, beneath the surface squalor there's a lot of wry black humour and something quite touching, too. The last time I saw it (about two years ago) the only thing that stuck in my throat was the slightly ham-fisted gore, which seemed a bit clumsy in a film which is raw but actually in some ways quite subtle. And it is a romance at the end of the day!

Thanks for that, Frankie. I'll do you know what I think of it when I watch it, hopefully this week.

I thought it a very funny film and as you say it is a romance at the end of the day. I do think that it also needs to be viewed in the wider context of underground cinema of the time to perhaps get a better angle on it's aesthetics.

The good thing about the 3 for £20 pounds deal is that you can basically get ur money back minus £2 pounds or so by trading any title u don't end up wanting with CEX.
