The curiosity about a movie where you can't hear a word and everything is expressed in the sign language? Nooooooooo........
Since Mr.K saw my true colour and forced me to come out I can't see any reason to hide it and be a hypocrite.
I went to see it because of its poster. The picture of 2 completely naked teenagers was a sort of a promise of a good ol' soft porn movie - my fav genre. From this point of view I was kinda disappointed - only 3 scenes, although more than explicite.
The story is about a teenager who's deaf-mute and enters a boarding school for people with such a disability. It's a place where violence, prostitution and robbery are common things and he learns to live after the rules of this "tribe" in order to survive. Until he falls in love with one of the girls who practices prostitution. His revenge is horrible to watch and for God's sake, I was able to watch without a wink Passolini's "Salo or the 120 days of Sodom''. Also it's hard to watch a scene of a very realistic abortion( hey! a few pages behind I was rhetorically asked how far will cinematography go?)
As I said nobody talks in this movie and it has no subtitles, just the sign language.
But who needs subtitles for sex and violence?


Next time I'm in Absurdistan I'm asking you out on a movie date.

That is if it is OK with Steve, and Donkey's missus.
