What You Need To Know:
The cinematography in HUMANITÉ explores each situation beyond human endurance. Vulgar shots are common, including a long, languid shot of a woman’s private part and a long languid shot of a mutilated little girl’s private part. There seems to be no soul or spirit in this movie, man reduced to the lowest common denominator. It is as pathetic a portrait of humanity as ever portrayed in film. One can only conclude that this movie was made to insult the audience. Its pretentiousness has gained critical acclaim from critics who like this sort of thing. As far as MOVIEGUIDE® is concerned, it is simply offensive

More Detail:
HUMANITÉ may be the most pretentious and boring piece of vulgar filmmaking ever made. The traditional storyline of policemen trying to solve a heinous crime has been used to support characterizations that are offensively banal and vulgar.
In the beginning, the wooden-faced detective Pharaon de Winter is deeply disturbed by the violent murder, rape and genital mutilation of an 11-year-old girl. The camera lingers and lingers over the mutilated private parts of the young girl. In fact, every scene in the movie is dragged out until it becomes a dreadful embarrassment.
Pharaon comes back home to his overbearing mother and then goes next door to visit his neighbors Domeno and her paramour Joseph. The door is unlock, and so he stands and watches them fornicating mechanically. The scene drags on relentlessly.
While slowly trying to solve the crime, the movie focuses on Pharaon’s relationship with the neighbors. After several scenes of fornication and masturbation, and long tedious sequences of nothingness, including Pharoan levitating in his garden, smelling a criminal who is being questioned and violently kissing the male rapist, the movie drags to a close.
The cinematography in HUMANITÉ is exceptional and used to explore each situation beyond human endurance. Vulgar shots are common, including a long, languid shot of a woman’s private part and a long languid shot of a mutilated little girl.
There seems to be no soul or spirit in this movie, man reduced to the lowest common denominator. It is as pathetic a portrait of humanity as ever portrayed in film. One can only conclude that this movie was made to insult the audience.
Its pretentiousness has gained critical acclaim from critics who like this sort of thing. As far as MOVIEGUIDE® is concerned, it is simply offensive. Don’t be fooled, therefore, into seeing this movie by the glowing reviews it may be getting in your town.
