Review by Mr. OMY

Think of this film as usual meatloaf denotes a completely different surface. That it may please or not can be debated, but it certainly is not trivial. Certainly the construction of the narrative and "painterly" intentionally modeled a desire for simplicity almost childish, but then again it is the will, not of failure or worse superficiality. The call for a different expression is affected by the constant reference to subjects, symbols, ideologies, past medieval perhaps, but not random. The philosophical ideas are continuous and relentless.
