Sundays being what they are - to watch a DVD from the comfort of my bed was the plan. Still mellow from just waking up, I made a cup of tea and popped in a DVD. I decided to watch a film from one of my favorite directors, Lukas Moodysson. His films tend to be heavy viewing but are amazing! I cannot recommend Lilya 4-Ever enough. However, A Hole In My Heart (Ett hål i mitt hjärta) was not what I expected and I was not prepared for it at all. I was expecting a quirky love story of some sort. This segment from Wiki pretty much sums it up.
Wikipedia: 'The film has gained some controversy in Sweden due to some shocking and disturbing footage, including closeups of vaginal reconstruction surgery. It has also been reported that some of the violent sex scenes are not just acted out but were actually performed during filming. Also features an anal sex scene without the use of lubrication, a masturbation scene with a toothbrush, and an extended scene about the woman's "smelly vagina".'
Here's the trailer - it's surprisingly subdued.
