[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 347628, member: 8"] [ATTACH type="full"]42101[/ATTACH] Though I have yet to watch Roman Polanski's REPULSION, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that MEN has based some of its elements on the 1960s classic. The main character is played by Jessie Buckley whom I have recently watched in the fabulous fourth season of FARGO (incidentally, season 5 has already been confirmed - hip hip hurrah!). I think watching MEN is a great film experience but it's not one of the best stories. I don't mind stories that don't make sense as long as I'm feeling it, and the ending of this film is just too underwhelming - which is a pity because it could have become a cult classic. The horror goes from eerie in that typical "welcome-but-not-welcome to our English countryside" to a final act that pulls out all the stops. I don't know what the title means in the grand scheme of things but what I got out of it was exploring the theme of primal urges and desires, and also the inability of men and women to be on the same wavelength. Perhaps that different perspective of victimhood ties in with our current social dilemmas. But again, that's just my personal interpretation. I wouldn't dare to recommend this film to anyone but I'm very glad I've watched it. [/QUOTE]
