art?

is it hell.

I worked on this film in a post production sense and I have to say that with in five minutes of it I tried to avoid seeing as much of it as possible, which unfortunatly I couldnt do. Is it necessary to juxtapose 5 year old girls with bulls bits to get some kind of impact? And if so what kind of impact are you trying to achieve? This should be locked up in the modern Tate with the rest of the rubbish thats considered art these days.

Its almost like the Texas Chainsaw Massochre vs animal farm on ketamin.
