Extremism Breaks My Balls (2000) - Sweden
Directed by: Nicholas Debot
ABOUT THE FILM:
A 5-minute short film about a young couple who are making love, when suddenly, a pair of thugs burst into their bedroom and castrate the young man with a meat cleaver for committing adultery and for voting for an extremist right-wing party.
REVIEW:
Without attempting to bring any personal biases or political views into this review, Extremism Breaks My Balls certainly gets its point across in its short runtime. There are some people who feel a little too strongly about politics, to the point where they will commit acts of violence against others. Sometimes, these extremists are allowed to work in the government, and will go out of their ways to force their views onto others, even if it means invading their privacy. I personally think that the castration sequence is symbolic of such a concept, and the way it is presented is not only graphic, but very effective in driving the message.
RELEASES:
-Extremism Breaks My Balls was included as an extra on a double-bill DVD of Pearls Before Swine and Bloodlust, released in Sweden by Njutafilms.
