a lot can be said about this one of a kind film that is the first i am aware of to explore the subject of people with the desire to have a part of their bodies gone or disabled. i heard of the topic before and was very interested in this daring examination of the controversial subculture. this film touches on the general topic of self-fulfillment and repression due to the criticism of society and challenge with acceptance, which can apply to us all. i think the title text on the cover being "boxed in" is a great representation that says it all. a very good performance from Vera Farmiga, whom i love, however this is probably my least favorite of hers so far. still a must see for those who love something different. love the exquisite tulip shots.
