The Mother

I actually liked the film's concept, if not the movie in its entirety, but even accepting the vaguely-Freudian-mother-daughter-father-triangle, the scene where the mother's apparent shame at being caught in the nude by her daughter, who didn't appear at all bothered, just completely threw me off. Not only was the nudity unnecessary because of the reactions (other than as a gratuity for people who won't see a movie unless it has some female nudity somewhere) but most of the mother's attitude towards her daughter made as much sense to me as the priest being called in the other scenario.

Revenge is a dish that best goes stale.

Honestly, I took the mother's blase attitude about her nudity in front of her daughter as a European thing. I know that they tend to be more liberal about that than Americans.

As for the priest: It made sense to me.

I thought the OP was saying the mother felt shame?

I didn't see it as her feeling shame. It looked to me as if she was rather indifferent about it.
