Rated Belladonna of Sadness 1/10

You have to be smoking the best shit ever made to somehow twist this into a well made feminist movie. Any intention to portray something liberating or an exploration of dealing with trauma or similar is immediately counteracted by the voyeuristic way in which the story is presented. I mostly see what they tried to do (and some things kinda work, like, I get it, okay?) but I find it hard to believe that a movie that seemingly has never heard of subtlety is also secretly trying to bring attention to the many problematic aspects that it displays. Also what was with the straight up Nazi style caricature of a 'money lender'? Can we talk about the literally green guy for a second? Art style is beautiful and while I don't believe that it's inherently "wrong" to display rape with their surrealist pretty art style, in the context of a movie that broaches the topic more like an exploitation porno than anything else it definitely doesn't help its case.
