I am a big fan of the comic strip Wulffmorgenthaler, made by Mikael Wulff and Anders Morgenthaler. (click the strip to read the text, unless you have very good eyes)
So I had my hopes up last night, when I had the opportunity to watch Anders Morgenthaler's animated film Princess. Sadly it was a let down, the grotesque, morbid and sometimes ironic comment on society of the comic didn't translate into pictures in motion.
Morgenthaler wants to show us how pornography, child molestation and prostitution - which is one and the same in his world, is very bad - made by bad men and exploiting women. On the other hand we have violence in the style of maybe Kill Bill, preformed by a Christian on the rouse of revenge (very odd combination), but is otherwise not given the ability to show emotion. The story is filled with cliches, barely has any surprises in store and made me laugh in places I clearly shouldn't have.
Some call it a necessary and shocking film, clearly they live in a world where media doesn't show this harsh reality. I have no need for poorly explained violence and emotional simpletons, Hollywood have them in plenty.
