Piercing

kill me romantically

weird as fuck

Sequence where Abbott’s character is prepping is so sick. Seems that this is an ode to Giallos which I have not seen very many of, so would be interesting to rewatch after I have.

I love a pseudo-sexual-thriller more than the next guy, and Piercing really does tick those boxes to some degree on that type of film. Christopher Abbot and Mia Wasikowska have so much weird, intense, awkward but sexy chemistry it almost doesn’t matter that some of the surrealism is half-baked and contrived. 

I really like the contained style it imposes from the start and the inner psyche of Reed being projected through hallucinations/dream sequences of what he wants to (or really, needs to) hear is really thought provoking. Made me think of Alice Lowe’s Prevenge almost, that sort of primal humanistic urge.

Piercing is sorta provocative, it’s sorta sexy, it’s sorta Lynchian, it’s sorta Cronenberg(ian?) and it’s sorta good. Nothing more, nothing less.
