What's a movie you had to watch in pieces because it disturbed you, but you learned to love it? (piefed.muxika.org)

Probably requium for a dream, although I don't think it was intentional. I was high with some friends and went to another friends house when it was already in the third act, so I kinda hopped into a what the fuck is this shit moment. I came away knowing it was true art and I'd have to watch the rest of it some time, but it took a long time to want to do so, while knowing I would eventually have to. I don't know if I could watch it again.

Also gummo.

    I somehow forgot how horrifying it is and decided to rewatch it. I sure came to regret that.

    I saw it a few more times because I loved the filmmaking surrounding the movie. The acting is really good, and Wayans really surprised me. The mother-and-son relationship was tragically beautiful.

    Also, go watch Satoshi Kon's (sp?) Perfect Blue and you'll see some very familiar scenes.
