‘Repulsive’ But Artistic?

I’ve just read the April 13 review of “The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover” (“Cook”: Grossness From Great Talents”) in which Kevin Thomas calls the film “repulsive,” with scenes of cannibalism and of a man smeared with excrement. Quick! Call the National Endowment for the Arts! I’m sure it will want to sponsor the sequel in the name of artistic freedom!
