Weird and wonderful. But not for everybody.
Too dense for a single viewing.
I really expected to enjoy this, especially considering how much I enjoyed The Holy Mountain. Sadly, I didn't.
Weird and nonsensical. There is some appeal in that for me, but not at great amount.
I found the forced symbolism more funny than thought provoking. It's like they got there hand on some cheap props and had a go at it. It's almost a spoof of itself because it's so cheap and ridiculous. The sound mix in this movie is also atrocious.
Sometimes the cinematography is good but with no purpose other than more imagery. Spiritual imagery of all the imagery. It bored me.I suppose it is biblical in that it makes as much sense as the bible.
Most cult films don't really do it for me, and this one certainly didn't. Some interesting imagery here and there, but nothing that I found interesting more broadly.
