I don't know where to begin with this movie, it's just such a drag of a movie that seemingly goes on forever and focus on all the wrong things for the more part.

I tried watching it one 2 other ocassions but I just couldn't get into it so I switched it off and put on something else.

On the third I decided to just stick with it so I've at least watched it once, and kinda wished I hadn't.

A lot of long boring everyday scenes of people doing much to nothing or walking from point a to b or Vincent Gallo playing the fiddle (metaphorically speaking... yes just that, not once but twice in the movie we witness this, luckily nothing too graphic there at least).

There is a little gore but only in a couple scenes so the poster if a all bloody woman is a little misleading if you ask me.

And those scenes tbh feel a bit random, but then I suppose everything in this movie does, and there doesn't seem to be much point to anything (although I'm sure it does I just didn't have the patience or desire to translate some potential symbolisms as it was just boring simple and plain).

Beatrice Dalle is the only redeeming factor and why I give this a 2 instead of a 1.

Vincent Gallo ... I should have known this would not be anything remotely "normal". And while the violence may borderline and vary to some (between ridiculous and scary),we do not get to see too much of certain things. Still there is an unease about this. Because it dares to show us glimpses of things ... especially sexuality and the insatiable hunger ... which I'm quite certain is a metaphor. For a lot of things.

As another reviewer has already stated, the movie is about sexuality and the gender roles. Or at least can be viewed as such. You can see beyond the horror and try to figure certain things out yourself. Gallo plays it straight ... and while there is not much dialog ... certain things are being repeated - I'm ok ... I'm ok. As if the characters are trying to convince themselves of what they are saying. Which is not really working - or fooling anyone for that matter.

There will be blood and there will be mayhem ... and there will be unsatisfied conclusions ... and some that may not even be considered a conclusion. A weird movie that for some reason was playing at a cinema the other day ... I reckon they knew I'd go and watch it anyway ... but I was not alone. A couple watched this with me ... and while we didn't know each other (and still don't),they shared their candy with me - not an innuendo. Although I am not ruling out or saying ... well anything. Anyway that anecdote aside that has nothing to do with the movie, it is as weird an encounter and experience as the movie itself was ...

Shane Brown (Vincent Gallo) and his wife June (Tricia Vessey) check into a Paris hotel. They're supposed to be on a honeymoon but in reality, he's looking for a former colleague to treat for some mysterious condition.

The sexual erotic bloodbath is a little shocking but it's not completely outrageous. Mostly, this film is a narrative mess. There is little dialogue. Sometimes, expositions are necessary evils. The plot is like trying to piece together a picture with scraps of half-burnt paper. It's a really trying film. With a better script, this could be something great. Without it, this is barely comprehensible.
