amazing fantasy horror.
One of my fave films, bur definitely not a horror....
Just brilliant in every way.
Great movie, same as the first time I watched it.
An easy 5/5. One of those movies that leaves you with a thinking on every rewatch. My opinion on what happens in the film changes every time I watch it. Probably the best magical realism put to screen ever.
