They say that art is what you want to see again. But, in the history of world cinema there were a lot of such paintings that I want to forget after watching as soon as possible.
Cruel scenes of murder, sexual violence or all kinds of bullying can be shown there naturally, after which the viewer will have to recover for a long time.
But if such a film wants to see a person who is extremely impressionable or with a weak psyche, then the consequences can be more severe.
Of course, it should be recognized that many of these film works received critical acclaim or were awarded prestigious awards, but such films rarely cause unconditional delight among the mass audience.
We present 10 paintings that can harm the psyche.
