Not perfect but full marks for ambition and lack of compromise. Lit very dark - I can't remember a darker film - but beautiful tableaux, arresting images, sound. It's not at all linear. A bit like being in a bad dream or on a trip. No hint of irony or humour, which is also brave an swims against the current. If your idea of cinema is X-Men stay away. If you liked Pan’s Labyrinth or Excalibur, form an orderly queue.

Very well done. Non linear, with its own cut up, oblique strategic feel. Will please deep and die hard fans, and will pique the curiosity of casual listeners.
