Whole (2003) is a rather unsettling documentary that delves into the complex and often controversial world of individuals who desire amputation. It’s a deep dive into the psyche of these people, featuring candid interviews with the amputees themselves, as well as insights from psychiatrists and family members. The pacing is quite slow, allowing viewers to really absorb the gravity of these personal stories. The tone is somber, creating an atmosphere that's both haunting and thought-provoking. There are no flashy effects here; it’s all about raw human emotion and experience. What sets this film apart is its willingness to explore a taboo subject with an unflinching gaze, leaving you both fascinated and somewhat disturbed.
