It is hard to have an opinion about "Engineering Red". One could get excited by it, be disgusted too. It is so called based on the works of Thomas Mann, but just as much as Pasolini's "Salo" is based on the works of De Sade... and a bit less, to quite tell the truth. In all it's esthetics, it remains a medical documentary and all the rest around it is just fancy talk. Interesting food for the eyes, sure, but necessary for life values enrichment?? Certainly not.
