The Dress

Holland

Black comedy. We follow a dress from its initial design and manufacture to the various women who end up with it as it passes from hand to hand. All the women suffer terrible consequences from wearing the dress...ranging from criminal invasion to rape and death.

Therein lies the problem of this film for me: the consequences were too ugly, too extreme. The initial sense of fun with the idea got too nasty for my taste. Turned out the most repellant character...who kept turning up...was played by the director himself making the film a really perverse ego trip.
