Interesting albeit brief documentary, 13 July 2008
6/10
Author: digital_groove from United States

As a person who has a few friends into body modification/art however you choose to call it I was interested in renting this documentary. First I will say I'm glad it's unedited and at times considerably graphic but I'd imagine if you are interested in this film in the first place you are aware of this and won't be a baby about it.

Being familiar with the more graphic types of modification through websites like bmezine and random websites I loosely knew about the more extreme ones. It's interesting to hear first-hand accounts of people who have done some of the extreme modifications but the film never really went past much depth except for "what is modification?" "what is the line between modification & mutilation?" and the overall idea of "it's your body you should be able to do whatever you want with it." All pretty typical fanfare of someone interested in this topic. I didn't learn anything new or encountered some new idea. It did entertain me, good introduction to the modification world but beyond that it belongs on the history channel for casual viewers.
