CGiii Comment
You may ask yourself: Is this the long awaited sequel to Flesh Gordon?
And, you may tell yourself: This is art.
After 130 minutes of this claptrap...you will be as mad as Maddin, it's all just a little too much to stomach.
Those who persevere will be no more the wiser by the end...if it was Maddin's intention to dumbfound - he succeeds, wholeheartedly.
The constant shifting imagery, the demented editing and the howlingly bad acting all serve to make this - quite possibly - the most exhausting film ever made.
Five unconnected, incohesive, incomprehensible intertwined stories - the stuff nightmares are made of. The 'experimentalists' will love it. The rest of us, who endured to the end...will feel stupid
Draining drivel.
Trailer...
