    1) The events of the film are likely what a 4chan/qanon/alt-right conspiracy theorist envisions when they try to convince you that Pizza Gate is real.

    2) this was more difficult to watch than A Serbian Film because the violence/atrocities aren't stylized, giving it a particularly cold and brutal feeling.

    3) and yes yes yes, I understand the villains were designed to be relatable at times, portraying the true horrors of fascism: it provides an ideological vehicle for otherwise…
