im obsessed with this movie
Your ability to enjoy this film may be in direct correlation to your ability to turn off any inclination to make it make sense. If you just turn off your mind and allow the imagery to wash over you and allow little ideas to pile up into an amorphous meaning, then you may enjoy it. It's also not uplifting. It appears to be a meditation on death, impermanence, suffering, and dissolution - touching on industrialization, modern medicine, and warfare. The initial factory scenes remind me of Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927). Apparently there is a quote in Italian from Fellini's Satyricon in it - I guess the Satyricon would be as good a movie to compare it with as any - being a series of disjointed stories compiled into a film. Some of the medical / surgical scenes are quite disturbing with regards to gore. But other scenes are breathtakingly beautiful. Not really a feel-good movie, but obviously made with a great deal of love.
glorified screensaver
this one is for the books. if you are a true horror fan the complexity of concepts explored are worth the watch alone. the cinematography is incredible, and while "story" is not exactly set in a traditional sense, the depth of world building makes up for it.
awsome
