surreal, dreamlike, unorthodox…see it., 10 June 2003
Author: idc22 from Philadelphia, PA

I think the audience expected something different then what was on screen…Personally I went in expecting a film about a serial killer and his pet goose, something akin to a Romanian twist on Gaspar Noe’s utterly brilliant “Seul Contre Tous”. Sure, that’s perhaps a fraction of it, but as the film moves forth, it reveals itself to be a highly surreal, unorthodox, and sad film.Read More »
