Review of The Great Ecstasy of Robert Carmichael (2005) by Alexis S — 02 Oct 2008
The final rape scene is Robert's great 'ecstasy', not the music his mother has planned for him but some grim fantasy of someone who can't fit in. The film attempts to tie its characters to the political climate of the times and nationalist legacy but one is left wondering how a brutal rape scene so reminiscent of 'Clockwork' could serve the director's purposes, unless of course he wanted to make a name for himself.
