Blood, gore, and grotesque

What does Quentin Tarantino and Chris Cunnigham have in common?
For start they are both acclaimed directors that have tendency to push the limits as far as possible.
 

I've been to the cinema yesterday to see QT newest flick - Kill Bill vol. 1. And I have to say I liked this movie very much.
It's a really weird movie but if you like a lot of blood and unnecessary violence - wohay, it's a winner.
Here's my first reaction, just as I came home yesterday:

[00:00] <jackal> kill bill is a nice movie
[00:00] <jackal> tarantino at it's best
[00:00] <jackal> gore and flesh
[00:00] <jackal> kitsch and genious
[00:01] <jackal> if you make kitsch so absorbing, interesting and inspired at some point you cross the line you can't call it kitsch anymore
[...]
[00:03] <jackal> it was not violent
[00:03] <jackal> it was too bloody to be violent
[00:03] <jackal> at some point you cross the line that was ment for horror movies
[00:04] <jackal> in horror movies gore and flesh is all there is to it
[00:04] <jackal> [kitsch horror movies that is]
[00:04] <jackal> what makes them funny


Yes. Kill Bill is bloody funny (punt intended), if you liked previous Tarentino movies (or his protegees Roberto Rodriguez) you will like this one too.

But what does it have to do with Cunnigham? According to SkyCAM (aka. german berserker :P) this movie is at points grotesque, and I have to give him that he's right. At some points this movie goes far beyond good ol' katana slashing, steps over cold body of B-class horror movies and becomes so grotesque that in the most wicked way it becomes funny thru the violence and bloodshed. I can't wait for 'Kill Bill vol.2' if it will ever happen, as well as for new Cunningham sick vids. 'Come to daddy' :)
