This quite speculative story tells about two brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm who pretends to protect townsfolk from folklore creatures they fabricated. But when their quick-money-getting scheme is disclosed, the con men are forced to contend with a real magical curse. They enter an enchanted forest where young girls keep disappearing under mysterious circumstances. The story sometimes balances on a brink of nonsense, but Monica Belucci appearing by the end of film is good as usual. |

Based on the 1973 novel by J. G. Ballard. James and Catherine Ballard are a married couple whose sex life has been reduced to recounting tales of mutual infidelity to turn each other on. One night, James causes a head-on collision with a car carrying Dr. Helen Remington, killing her husband and severely injuring her and himself. Subsequent encounters with each other find that they are oddly sexually aroused by the danger of car accidents and potential accidents, and, with Catherine, soon fall in with a cult of car crash fetishists. The group is led by Vaughan, a former scientist twisted by his own disfigurement in an accident, and, as a result, a man obsessed with car crashes as a liberation of sexual energy. Vaughan inducts the Ballards and Dr. Remington into his surreal world of sex in the back seats of cars, re-enactments of famous car crashes (i.e. James Dean and Jayne Mansfield), viewing photos of accident victims and screenings of collision videos as pornography, and fender benders as mating rituals. |
