a film about a wild and troubled young lad Alex
a film that, from beginning to end, drips irony from its tongue
an elegant, complicated film by a master filmmaker, Romper Stomper is stark, straightforward and almost documentary in nature
a novel/film which focuses on the power of music to guide the lives and mindsets of individuals, causing them to bypass rationality in their drive towards spontaneous action
an ultra-violent surreal fantasy from its very beginning, 'Straw Dogs' seems entirely innocent at first, like a very realistic and light-hearted drama, and the violence builds gradually throughout the film
a powerful film that has stood the test of time, coming off as shocking today as it ever was
a rare instance of a thought-provoking film that poses fundamental questions of morality wrapped in a deceptively frivolous cloak of sex and violence
a triumph of virtuoso filmmaking
a visually dazzling, highly unsettling work that revolves around one of the few truly amoral characters in either film or literature
