I really like the film. It is one of those old fashioned 'slow' films thats builds up the atmosphere of the piece gradually. It is set in such a normal world with people who plod along not doing very much, allowing the audience to suspend thier disbelief. Nothing happens for a long time which made the later scenes all the more shocking. And I think shocking is the right word. The audience of the time had never seen anything like it a little girl doing those things made it even more shocking.
There has to be something said about the morals of the filmmakers who subject a child actress to these extreme scenes. I read an interveiw with Tarantino recently and he said one of the reasons he used animation for a part of Kill Bill was because he didnt think it would have been right ask a child to act those scenes.
