An acclaimed and controversial film that is a visual poem about metaphysics, Creation, the Death of God, and the birth of nature. Filmed in deep, rich black and white, this gorgeous work has been compared to David Lynch's ERASERHEAD. It is permeated with the sensations of a particularly vivid and perverse dream, or a fully engrossing hallucination. (official distributor synopsis)

Impossible to evaluate by classic standards, so I will rate it subjectively according to how much I enjoyed it. Plus one star out of respect. (And yet, it’s worth watching it.)

A remarkable film that is original and unique. It is interesting how it forces the viewer to imagine things much more perverse than those that actually take place in the film (due to the terrible quality of the image, it is often not possible to know what is actually going on in the film). However, its technical processing is repulsive and makes the film almost unwatchable. This was certainly the director's intention, but it is an intention that absolutely does not match up to what I expect from a film. The opening suicide scene is very impressive, but the rest is just abstract, surreal and confused avantgarde nonsense.
