I loved this movie. I’ll be thinking about it for a long time and will probably have to see it again. It’s not what I expected and not really like anything I’ve seen — not quite sci-fi, not quite a psychological thriller, but with elements of both.
At the risk of sounding like an asshole, there was a lot about it that was “poetic,” and I mean that almost in a literal sense. It was dense with symbolism, repetition, even “rhyming,” at least thematically.
Comparisons to David Lynch might be lazy, but not too far off the mark. It’s even anchored to a Roy Orbison song!
And yes, those are clips from Harmony Korine’s Trash Humpers in there.
