harsh, coarse, rough and unrefined, as in film depictions that portray life as it truly is, without false distortions, stylizations, or idealizations. Often, the realism is exaggerated such that the culture or society being portrayed appears more coarse than it really is.

A type of realism, usually invoked by films and documentary. Strangely

An elusive pair of beautiful boobies - kept warm and cozy in a grey dress. Only visible after midnight in various pubs and never to be seen again. Completely unforgettable - they will ruin the attractiveness of most all other females. Proof that God does love mankind.
