wow..wow..wow... I mean...I never want to watch it again. I think it's an accomplishment of blasphemy I've never quite experienced before and hope to never again. It's like the Exorcist went to the circus. If you're into film, I would watch it. If you're not, you will probably cry. Excellent acting.

Director Ken Russell pulls no punches in this over the top depiction of French religious oppression. Some amazing set pieces, most of the acting is excellent, and the final scenes are unforgettable. But it's difficult to watch and hard to truly enjoy as entertainment. A landmark film in breaking the barriers for what's possible and acceptable to visualize.
