Our take

Considered a cult classic of the 90s, this descent into an abyss of madness and depravation shocked audiences worldwide after its Venice premiere. Trivia: the film was shot by 31 different cinematographers (!) in an attempt to better capture the feeling of seeing things for the first time.
