My apologies, I didn't mean to belittle your work: you've obviously an excellent craftsman, and understand your subject well.

Apology not necessary. Everyone's entitled to an opinion. Feedback, whether positive or negative...is always infinitely more preferrable to a vacuum of silence. In fact, sometimes the negative (constructive) feedback is just as helpful as praise.
Oddly - I've never thought of our work in terms of depicting "implicit violence", though. I can possibly understand your interpretation as appearing that way perhaps...but since the actual production doesn't contain any measure of 'violence' (implied non-consenuality?) persay, I've never thought of it in those terms.
