SHOWNOTES: Collateral Cinema treads again into controversial territory, this time in our discussion and analysis of the 2008 French–Canadian horror film Martyrs, directed and written by Pascal Laugier! A notable entry in the New French Extremity movement, this divisive movie warrants a dialogue regarding its distinctive three-act structure transcending genres, graphic depiction of violence and torture, and morally gray plotline. We even take some time to discuss New French Extremity films as a genre. If you like this episode, don't forget to check out our other episodes, and feel free to leave us a review or feedback!
