Eytan, I also offer my congratulations. Palindromes is currently playing as part of the Philadelphia Film Festival (and it is sold out!) However, I agree with your assessment that this film will offend lots of viewers based on reviews I have read and my own experiences seeing his earlier films, "Welcome To the Dollhouse" and "Happiness". The latter film has the most perverse title, as the subject matter (voyeurism, alienation, pedaphilia, etc.) is anything but 'happy'.
