Awakening versus Oppresion

There is quite a theme running through the movie. And it is not just the fact that our lead is struggling with her sexuality. Because it is not just what she is feeling, but how society (or rather the village she lives in) makes her feel about it. And there is quite some foreshadowing going on, that should be able to tell you where this is going.And it is not an easy movie to watch. Not just because the main woman is so troubled and therefor makes it an uncomfortable watch. But because of how people react and how things spiral out of control. Now all that is quite an achievement for the movie, but it probably will turn people off (no pun intended) with all the nudity. There is even erect penis at display (though no actual penetration can be seen, as far as I could tell, I didn't really bother checking). So if that makes you feel uncomfortable, be warned. But there is even something worse towards the end happening ... it's really despicable and there is social commentary. So there is something there - it just could have done with a better packaging, maybe a shorter running time. Overall decent and quite a punch in the gut ...
