I give this movie a 5 star because I love this movie yet absolutely despise it. It shows the main character, (Edmond), as a bored middle-aged, working class, white man who goes through a stage in his life where he falls to the bottom from when and where he was placed, its a film that touches topics like, racism, sexual violence, robbery, falling to the depths of psychopathy, etc, etc. Even if the main character does do some horrible things, you can't help but feel even the tiniest of Empathy, it's a film you have to really open your mind to, that's why there are so many 1 star reviews, because it is so disgusting that you'll love it. It truly is a great work of art, for the right kind of person,
