Before I begin this - is didn't watch this whole film. I turned it off halfway through because it was too weird and was making my insides feel all slimy and dirty.
This is a Swedish film, and it has a narrative, but it has a lot of experimental conventions - at one point there is a sequence where the camera follows the lines and corners of the doorframes on the set with no apparent narrative element or reason. There are also sequences where the characters depict themselves in scenes using barbies and action figures, providing the dialogue via impressions of each other.
The plot follows an amateur porn film being made in someone's flat. The conversations between the characters were odd, and I wasn't sure if they were imagined, actually happened, or where somewhere in between. The nudity wasn't the tasteful or implied nudity I'm used to in films and I have to say it really turned my stomach. I felt it got in the way of the storyline and was too over-the-top and try hard. But then, that's just my opinion.
I've got a copy of this but I'm not sure I'll be watching the rest of it.
