| Jamie Edwards of Magic FM is full of shit. This isn't in anywhere near the same league as Seven. |
When does entertainment tip over into exploitation? This is a film about the exploitation of women; encompassing everything from casual misogyny to child abuse to rape and, naturally, the cold-blooded, sadistic murders we know and love. So far, so Hollywood. What sets The Frozen Ground is that this is a true story. This verisimilitude is unique selling point of the film: a historical recreation of real life horrors. The question worth asking then, is why. Why are we being told this story, to thrill and shock us, or to educate and inform?

I spend a lot of time in the cinema. On a good week I'll go and see maybe three or four new films, spending hours upon hours in dark rooms watching unspeakably awful semi-fascist rubbish. My pale skin aches for sunlight and I've developed a vitamin D deficiency that has stunted my growth and drained the colour from my hair, leaving it a corpse-like grey. Why am I telling you this? I saw Spring Breakers last night and I can't get it out of my head. I went home from the screening and bought two tickets to see it again tonight, at midnight. This film is transcendent; a foaming, neon-dappled cocktail of blood, tits, amphetamines and gloriously, trashy, amazing pop music. Harmony Korine may as well have jabbed a spike of adrenaline straight into my softly beating heart.
