Happy April Fool’s Day. This week on Video Shop I’m doing something a bit different. In honour of April Fool’s day I’m only recommending one film. And it’s a film that was released just at the end of last year to general audiences. You’ll have heard a lot about it - it won last year’s Palm D’Or and it’s only the third film directed by a woman to do so. You'll probably remember people talking about how shocking, violent and extreme it is. How people were fainting and vomiting in the screening rooms. These are the kinds of descriptions that grab people’s attention but what you'll see beyond the extreme is a surprisingly tender story of unconditional love. A film that might have ‘gore’ as a descriptor but feel beyond the slippery viscera and glistening body horror and you’ll grasp an emotional story of transformation. Something that is truly shocking - that which you weren't expecting, to be moved by something billed as gruesome, sickness-inducing, horror.
