Movies: Some Real Hard Ones to Watch.

The New York Times Movies for this Cannes week has three very hard, or rather extremely violent movies in review amongst the glitter:

• Hesher - the story of ..."a violent California drifter who barges into the home of a grieving suburban family and is given the run of the house." 

see Burn This, Curse That, Wreak Your Havoc

• The hugely controversial 'A Serbian Film' directed by Srdjan Spasojevic, "(that) doesn’t just push the envelope of the extreme-cinema niche, it shreds it." 

see Torture or Porn? No Need to Choose

• And the hunting, no compromise 'City of Life and Death' about the infamous Rape of Nanking by the Japanese just before the start of World War 11. 

see A Tale of Nanjing Atrocities That Spares No Brutal Detail
