Review
"The Pang brothers -- best known in North America for The Eye -- are back and they're as visually inventive as we've come to expect. Directed by Oxide Pang, Ab-Normal Beauty is, first and foremost, a fascinating film about a fascinating character. Obsessive, exacting, and perverse, Jiney would much rather photograph people than get to know them. Unlike your average, everyday, emotional human being, Jiney needs to see pain and suffering, in order to be satisfied with her work. Watch for the intense, panicked sense of discovery that crosses her face when she first decides to add blood to an otherwise ordinary nude portrait. It's a chilling moment." - Jonathan Doyle, DiscLand
