Review of Teeth (2000) by Stoffe H — 17 Dec 2009
The fact that this is a film about a girl with "vagina dentata" might make it seem really crass and disgusting, and while it is disgusting, it's also a really smart and unique look at teenage sexuality and a young girl comming to terms with her own body.
It's also about reversing the roles in violent sexual situations. Here the girl has the ultimate power over the male, and when one boy tries to date-rape Dawn, he pays the price. Yet it's also a commentarry on how low society seems to view women and how that influences how men view women and how women view themselves.
This isn't necessarily a great film, and I'm sort of in between giving three-and-a-half or four stars, but it's really entertaining and really interesting.
