"I think they've left me. I think my family have left me. I don't know how. I can't remember why. You see, there's something wrong with me. There is something seriously wrong with me."
This film is about so much more than distraction and filthy behavior. At first, it may seem like a detective mystery with a lot of crudity--a corrupt cop who is trying to get promoted. But about half way through things take a turn and you start to realize that the film is quite complex, full of symbolism and meanings. And it is all very disturbing.
I find it interesting how many films today tackle the subject of coping, grief, and mental health. So many critically-acclaimed, thought-provoking movies choose this as a narrative thread. Why? It seems like people in our modern, privileged societies have their priorities out of whack or their perspectives clouded. Many of us just don't know how to deal with the complexities of life.
