When creating this thread, I was actually hoping to get some responses that included movies that were dark, disturbing and thought-provoking, with some artistic merit (many listed here).
Faces of Death was disturbing...particularly the monkey scene, but (IMO) not really worthy of any praise. I don't think the director's intent was anything more than shock value.
my father had only mentioned it in passing a while back, so I thought i'd try and see what you guys knew about it or if any had even seen it...

Now there's an article about it in a local online newspaper: http://www.ab24.no/default.asp?page=5349&item=31970,1&lang=1
They quote me with an impressive-sounding sentence I never said. 😉

(Actually I didn't say anything at all about the length of the sequences, the performance of the actors or a description of reality. In fact I didn't say much at all.)

Originally posted by AThousandYoungYes, that's what I think it's supposed to mean. But it's still nonsense; you can't increase a description. The sentence also suffers from substantiveritis. Instead of "... gave the film an increased description of reality", one could say something like "the film feels more realistic because of ..."
"Increased description of reality" sounds like a long winded "more realism".
