Yeah, I had a feeling that those words would come back to
bite me in the arse before too long. We’re talking about Bill Zebub once again, the only
director who seems to be trying to push the aestheticisation of rape as well as
the king of cringingly slow and awkward sex scenes, and this looks to be
something of a new landmark for the guy. I could point to Zebub’s own blurb for
the film saying that it is “the most absurd movie that [he] has ever created”,
but that’s not why I consider it as such. No, this one marks new levels for his
filmography because the film I’m going to talk about today, the rather
humourously titled Dickshark, is almost three
hours long. The Uncut version available on Vimeo is not only the only copy
of the film I could secure in time for a review but it’s also a version that is
markedly longer than what will be found on the DVD/Blu-Ray copies of the film.
Yeah, I can’t help but feel that this is karma for complaining about long run
times in the past. Still, I made it a point of reviewing both of Zebub’s works
last year so might as well keep going from here.
