  The first half was so good why did it fall off. Why are the original songs so bad

  You got a tampon? Thought I'd ask. You seem like you might be plugging.

  Tajouj 1977

  ★★★ Watched 26 Sep 2024

  Disappointed by how many of the reviews of this here are critical of the editing and subtitles, considering this movie had to be painstakingly put together again via various archival footages, as the original was confiscated by government officials and the creator jailed. Not to say you can’t be critical of this movie, but is it not really unfair to be critical of those aspects in particular, given the context?

  Quite funny yet SO VERY dark and thoughtful. Pulls no punches with the visuals, whether they be disgusting or deeply upsetting. I appreciated the unique and unabashed directing choices made, like the red fabric on either side of the camera while Mark is overdosing. Camera work is superb also. Campy in a depressing Scottish way? This movie walked so fight club could run
