Film: Hard Candy

Saw this about a week ago and I'm still thinking about it. Psychologically intense and painful but so worth watching. Google it if you want actual information. There's enough information about it online.

After talking about it with friends, we decided that it was a Canadian film. Lots of good, obscure and disturbing films are Canadian for some reason. Like Cube. Hehe. Anyway it's an American film set in the US, the director's British (David Slade) but the girl character is Canadian (Ellen Page). Aha!

Watch it watch it, it's goooood. Never thought much of pedophiles before this film but have long hated rapists with a passion. They should all have their balls cut off.

Speaking of Canadian film, I love Atom Egoyan's stuff, especially "The Sweet Hereafter". Probably one of the best novel-to-film adaptations out there.

I find Canadian films to be distractingly low budget. Actually, I think all Canadian versions of things seem low budget. Like, our MTV is really ghetto after seeing American MTV.
