Pasolini's Oedipus Rex is quintessential though.

A Serbian Film is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen tbh. 2/10, only bumped above a 1 because the lead actor did a pretty good job considering the trash script he was working with

I haven't seen it and I'm not going to. I think most movies even mildly in that direction are minus 10 out of 10, so I'm sure I would regret it if I ever did cave in and watch it.

2edgy4me, reading the wiki once has always been enough.

It looked pretty cheesy and on the boring end of the shock spectrum. At least Gasper Noe can be occasionally thought-provoking.

One of the grimiest and most unsettling movies I’ve seen is still to this day the OG 1974 Texas Chain Saw Massacre. You don’t need nasty gore and baby rape to make your film shocking. You need good acting and cinematography and a director with a vision rather than a desire to shock for the sake of it

Wikipedia’d

“The story opens with a robed, profusely bleeding "God" disemboweling itself, with the act ultimately ending in its death. A woman, Mother Earth, emerges from its remains, brings the dead body to arousal, and inseminates herself with its semen. Becoming pregnant, she wanders off into a vast and barren landscape. The pregnancy manifests in a fully grown convulsing man whom she leaves to his own devices”

Oh
