I didn't say I admired his work...

Not particularly. And I prefer Haneke of the two.
I was saying I am open to expanding my understanding of art as a reflection of personal nature, even deeper perversity. I don't run away from it because it is difficult. I take Noe at his word that he is seriously exploring, in his own way, the same territory as Haneke - contemporary human condition.
Is Noe's butcher any more repellent than the monster in Vampyr, which I've seen you praise here? What is your standard of sympathy/antipathy for film? Mine is: Is the tale well told? I don't avoid art/film because I fear it will reduce me by raising problematic emotions. Quite the contrary.
Your Holocaust remarks notwithstanding, of course you know there is ample legitimate evidence to support a contention that you have it in you to perform the most heinous acts given conducive personal circumstances. That is precisely the case that both Noe and Haneke are making.
