A new, old, controversial movie

After watching the film festival movie 'Princess' last week and pondering for a few days now as to whether I liked it or not, I've decided to remain neutral about the film. It had both good points and bad points:

The Good (technical aspects)
-The opening of the film was aesthetically awesome, it integrated 3D and real life still images into a very entertaining sequence.
-I liked how the actual animation was 2D (the best of cartoons are in 2D, in my opinion)
-the film used real life hand held footage from a camera which gave it a very unique touch and it was also actually relavant to the film, i.e. it didn't seem to be randomly inserted just to create an effect.

Using a regular hand held camera and 2D images (the old) and integrating them together has created a new way of composing a film. Very simplistic but also very different.

So recalling and linking this to the silent film Luke Goode showed in the first lecture this raises the questions:
Will we resort to the old after we discover all the new technology?
Will the old become the new 'new'?

The Bad...ish (narrative)
Some people may think the narrative was good...
All I can really say about it is that it was very controversial.
I don't want to give too much away because some people may want to see the film when it comes on video or something.
Basic gist: "Danish animated, violent anti-porn revenge drama". A female porn star dies leaving her 5 year old little girl with no one to care for her. So her brother(the little girls uncle), who is a priest takes care of the little girl. He vows to rid the world of ALL the footage and images of his sister as a porn star because it is a bad influence on the little girl. He does this by killing people in the industry. So he counters the the influence of the porn industry with severe violence...
After walking out of the film my friend said "I've never felt this way after a film before". We were both very stunned and speechless on the whole about the entirety of the film and confused as the whether we actually thought it was good or not.

Film narratives seem to just keep getting more and more controversial with more violence and sexual references...Don't really know if thats a good thing or bad thing? I guess I'll just remain neutral...

For those of you who actually saw 'Princess', what did you think?

I have added the link to the movie website but it might be a bit too graphic (violently) for some people.
