Oh god. There goes my lunch :(

The next time someone asks you what the most repellent film you've ever seen is. It's this. You've probably not seen it (especially if your in the UK) but it doesn't matter, just lie to them & describe the most vile things you can see done to the human body. It's all here for your enjoyment.(castration, male & female circumcision, body piercing, sex, punishment, animal slaughter etc..) It's all real too, so all you Fulci, Deodato fans will probably lap it up. The thing is, it's really interesting, so it's perhaps wrong of me to say its all a sick excuse for entertainment.

You've been warned. 5 out of ten

See it for something you may never see again...

Antipathy may be the first emotion when you start watching this but its all ceremonious. You have to see it to know that something like this is still happening which you would have think happened only during man-as-a-nomad days. It shows their age-old rituals for several occasions, out of which some I understood some are still a conundrum. I still wonder why these rituals are performed. It seems as we advance in society we cut short everything for good (for bad?).

This may contains inappropriate contents for some; can be considered gory but still shows the truth. The scenes in the movie are the one which are not shown in 99% of movies. A raw movie can be the perfect term for this; it prompts emotion during every scene but not like we have experienced or seen; like an uncut diamond, valued but needs polishing.

It reminds me of bush-man that we all have relished in 'Gods must be crazy', though this time bush-men doesn't comes in our territory instead we go in theirs.

Being created long back, I wonder if its still happening. Now after seeing this movie, I am thinking to pack my bags and see it all live the way it is happening. A must watch!
