So, 'Forbidden Images' is one of those oddities that you stumble upon in the depths of the collector's world. It juxtaposes the brutality of a slaughterhouse with the raw innocence of early puberty, a theme that's both unsettling and strangely poignant. The pacing is a bit erratic, which kind of adds to its charm—you're never really sure what's coming next. The practical effects are minimal but impactful, and the performances have this gritty realism that really pulls you in. The use of storytelling, particularly with the Scheherazade angle, feels like a nod to the intertwining of life and death. It's definitely a film that lingers with you, for better or worse.
