Armless
Written by Peter on Thursday, February 4, 2010
Sam Adams writes in The Daily Magazine, Philadelphia…
"’Armless,’ by a former Broomall man, has a premise so off-putting that even the film buffs at Sundance turn away. It’s billed – believe it or not – as a comedy."
By Sam Adams
For The Inquirer
PARK CITY, Utah – "At least according to its own publicity, this year’s Sundance Film Festival is all about rebellion. Exactly how that fits some of the innocuous romantic comedies and quirky dramas in the lineup is open to debate.But no one would question that Habib Azar’s comic film Armless deserves the description.
Michael Winterbottom’s ultraviolent The Killer Inside Me and Gaspar Noé’s postmortem drug trip Enter the Void may have provoked walkouts, but Armless has managed to scare away more than a few seasoned cinephiles based on its premise alone."
Adams quotes Armless’s director Habib Azar as saying…
"These people do really weird and gross things. It’s much like anorexia. They look in the mirror and think, ‘These limbs don’t belong to me.’ "

ut.tv brings up a promotional site for the state of Utah. Is there a title of the video that you could give us for a google search?

A short TV movie has been screened. It’s up on ut.tv/ a site in spanish but the film is in english. It has 3 subjects, two are body mods but the BIID subject is well handled. A good production. Although not entirely on BIID, when it IS on it, it’s spelt out in no uncertain terms.
Not sure if I’m allowed to publish links here. So if you haven’t found the film, let me know.
