Hemel (2012)

Was hoping for a skin flick. Got a thought piece instead.

I think this might be the first review I've written for IMDb and it's only because I've never seen so many people get it so wrong.

I watched this movie with very low expectations because it's rating was so bad. I just wanted to see some smut to be quite frank.

What I received were sexual vignettes that helped me understand the character of our protagonist.

Her behavior and reaction to others showed me what she thought of sex, power and love. And how they played with each.

In her eyes she thought her indifference to sex and other people in general communicated strength while I viewed it as cowardice.

The lover who seemed to truly disgust her, was the man who had the most respected for himself and for her as well.

I've watched millionaires buy crap art because they didn't understand it, yet wanted to fit in. I've also seen intellectuals dismiss smart movies because they were confronted with language they didn't like or topics they were uncomfortable with getting hung up on that and missing the point.

This movie is over a decade old which is like 30 years old for other times and to me it illustrates female sexuality of the bourgeois, spoiled ,unloved empty yearning for something. But know wouldn't know What it was or what to do if they got it. Because we've lost our way.
