Either that or something like Flowers of Flesh and Blood which demonstrates that there is an audience (including myself) for gore for gores sake.
Thought provoking, maybe something like Man Bites Dog or Day of the Dead perhaps, certainly for the "what would I do" aspect of the latter.

I got a pedophile vibe from that movie too ..but on the other hand the french never shied away with showing the beauty of youth - to them it isnt a sexual thing... The Leon character was paternal he wasnt creepy about it.. the lewdness came from the camera...It was all over the girl and it seemed weird by my north american sensibilities ..
I honestly didnt think that was the direction the director was looking for..
