There are some things in this movie that work, but unfortunately the story and dialogue never add up to much. It’s not clear why this group of people is in the situation they’re in or where they’re headed. What works is the great atmosphere, crazy costuming, and the Fellini-esque chaos of the people in the background and how they interact with the lead actors and scenery. Interesting for sure, but I wouldn’t watch it again.

Setting is nonsensical and it feels like there is a good movie in here some where, I wish it was better.
