Review of Wetlands (2013) by Anthony C — 07 Jun 2015
Based on German TV personality Charlotte Roche's semi-autobiographical bestselling novel of the same name, this screen adaptation helmed by David Wnendt has earned instant cult status as possibly the filthiest coming of age movie ever made.
It stars Helen, an 18yo female who very much owns her sexuality, so much, in fact, that it is difficult to find a human being who would not be repulsed by just how much. Aimed at young adults ( which kind of justifies the simplistic plot), this is really cheeky, incredibly gross and dirty but it somehow feels right.
A breakthrough performance by multilingual goddess Carla Juri leads the way in a film that should never be consumed on a first date or whilst eating pizza. Do not watch it with your parents! If you can't stomach its first 5 minutes, do not proceed (as it will get worse)! Otherwise, you're in for something quite original and unforgettable, and where some of the bodily fluids featured are real.
Congrats millennials, you've raised the bar again! Fifty Shades of what?
