death of the young

[jromanbaker · 1/10 · 4 November 2019]

I fought my way through this film without passing out. It is well made and the film has a strong visual sense, and the acting is variable and sometimes very good especially in the first episode. I found Hau's performance brave and it was a demanding role to play. Only his strong accent when speaking in English prevented me from fully understanding the dialogue. Now for the content which concentrates on torture and more disturbingly the mental torture of the young. The film is full of death and that does not surprise me as I know ( in my opinion ) that Dennis Cooper's work is full of violence especially his novel ' Frisk ' which there again made me disturbed and feel faint. So for the faint hearted like me this is not the film for you. The penultimate episode of the film is in my opinion unwatchable and the death scene here in an abstract landscape shows pleasure in the extinction of life which I as a viewer I cannot and do not want to believe in, and given the number of deaths and suicides of young men homeless on the streets of many countries I find these representations of the need to end life distasteful. It is a vision of death as despairing pleasure.

What was that I have just seen?

One word: ridiculous. What a waste of time. Those writers have to be really messed up in the head to come with some stories like those in this "film".

Really disturbing to think someone thought they were good enough to be part of a film. Just avoid at all cost.

Worst thing I've ever seem

This is the most bizarre, most depressing, slow-moving, boring, and the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I actually got so bored at 58 minutes, I bailed. Be forewarned. I don't see how this thing ever got made. It's about death. Death, and some lame excuses for sex that really never happens. The most unexciting and depressing thing I've ever seen. Did I mention it's about death? Teenagers thinking about dying, teenage boys looking and acting totally depressed thinking about death in separate chapters that are totally unrelated. I really hated what I managed to sit through, but I had to pull the plug. I felt like I was dead. Dying for it to end, but it didn't. I made it dead.
