A Passion for Knotted Panties

Andrew Sullivan quotes “Wieseltier on the passion."

"It is a repulsive masochistic fantasy, a sacred snuff film,..."

Sullivan wrote his own review after seeing the film.

"In a word, it is pornography...The center-piece of the movie is an absolutely disgusting and despicable piece of sadism..."

I have not seen the film, yet, but I’m curious if the term sadism would be applied to the films Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs, Saving Private Ryan, Schlinder’s List, or The Godfather, among others.

Update: Emperor Darth Misha I on the violence.

Update II: Allison, of Allison Lives provides a nuanced comment.
