I saw Sarah Kane walk out of an Amsterdam Theatre and in my opinion anger fuelled her work. And rightly so. ' Blasted ' exploded on the stage showing the horrors of war both in our personal lives as well as in the world itself. This short film in short, sharp scenes captures her vision of life, and being film it encapsulates a lot of extremist behaviour that so outraged certain critics, What appealed most to me was the drab setting of humiliation between the black and white woman. She gives him dog food to eat. Etches her name bloodily in his back. This is not ' real ' life as most of us know it, and in my opinion should not be seen as such. It shows Skinhead war against the blacks, and then an attempt of sexuality between the two. Both direction and acting excellent, but it is pure Sarah Kane and her imaginative vision of the brutality of the world around her. Essential viewing and it is on YouTube.
