... I don't like violence in films (or indeed anywhere else!) - but I felt the 'violence' here was of a cartoon Tom & Jerry / Itchy & Scratchy kind, which one knew was not in any sense 'real'. Going to this movie, which we knew in some way wd be 'about' the Manson/Sharon Tate killings, I had feared the worst, but was relieved to find how deftly he circumvented the real horror.
And it is such a gorgeously 'filmic' film...
