I wanted to but couldn't!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This film is seriously exhausting to try and follow.It is one helluva gory psychedelic mess.I wasn't sure it was going to come around...and I'm not sure it ever really did.Without providing myself a little context going into this...I would have been completely and utterly lost, as to read any meaning into it whatsoever.It seems, a man named Dan Kristensen (Klaus Tange), has returned home to find his wife- Edwige- missing.He starts to wander around his apartment complex, seeking help from the other residents...but they aren't of much assistance.The residents he does happen to meet...seem to tell him their own stories...taking him on a journey through their nightmarish blood-soaked, psychedelic, fantasies.Though, perhaps, these stories are meant to reveal something about his own, hidden, nature.Or...is there just someone in the walls? Either way, he wakes up next to his wife's decapitated head, and thinks a man with a beard is out to kill him.A police officer is assigned to the case, but Dan continues on with his own investigation anyways.The man behind the wall eventually reveals himself to Dan- providing SOME sort of context for a narrative to develop: His wife was part of some game, that caused her to push the limits of her body, in an attempt to discover what was inside, but she only found "Laura". Knowing this secret tormented his wife, so she tried to escape, but was caught..."Where Laura found a new way... Where Laura keeps her secrets...".As you can see, sh*t remains pretty cryptic.There was an earlier point- where Dan was reading a diary that hints at the idea, that Edwige(?) had "discovered someone inside of her", that was, "trying to take control". But it's always noted in the male context.After the man in the wall seems to have been murdered. Dan decides to break through...to see what lies on the other side.This seems to be a journey into his own mind- during which he finally meets Laura- as he witnesses her death.Or is she even dead? Because he soon discovers her again, and this time...the cop shoots her dead.Now, it seems...Laura was the killer, travelling through the walls, discovered by his wife...who succumbed to her, for knowing her secret...that being, that she is also the old lady from apartment number 7.Turns out she killed her husband- and anyone else who knew the secret of her true identity- so that she could have the man of her dreams (Dan) to herself.But then Dan sends her off.And sh*t is still happening.The diary is empty. And so is the photo album- filled with stock photos.In the end, it all seems that this was one man's bizarre, masturbatory, fantasy- possibly originating from him having witnessed his sister- Laura- have her first period, as a child.So f*cking weird.Beautifully shot though.This is constructed like Lynch, and shot like Greenaway.And it is one helluva trip.Great film to watch on acid, for sure.6 out of 10.

I appreciate that this movie is not for everyone, it is for demanding and conscious audience. It's very intense, not easy to watch and definitely a late night movie you need to focus on and really get into. Firstly, photography is absolutely gorgeous, a true work of art. Art direction, interiors and music too - all very consistent, artistic and different. It is the unpredictability of this movie that attracted me so much, and the fact that the story and plot are almost secondary. Full of visual and audio glitches, sudden turns and oddball characters, it shows characters' emotions in a very imaginative and surreal manner, rather than what we are used to - dialogue. In fact, there isn't much dialogue in the movie or it's almost meaningless. This movie breaks all of the rules and boundaries, while being a very well shot and edited, top quality work of art. Many of the art-house movie are just a waste of time - ofter made weird just for the sake of it, but lacking depth and quality. This movie is very very weird but perfect in every detail, bending rules but not breaking them. Many ambitious movies are grim, sad and exaggerate human tragedy and suffering, or contain way too much graphic violence, sex etc. This movie has it all but in a very elegant subtle manner, it is disturbing and difficult at times but didn't leave me with sad aftertaste of realism and suffering. It's a true visual and emotional trip into the darkness of human character and fantasies.

This type of movie has a name : masturbation! A bad mix between Belgian "arty" cinema, Lynch, Cronenberg, … without talent! And most of all without script!This is typical of directors who want to show their visual talent without any idea of a story to tell.And don't get abused, you won't see anything that you haven't before. Even on the visual aspect talent is not a word that concerns that movie. More technical abilities we should say… so what's the point???Yes gentlemen directors of this movie (if we shall call it so); go and see Videodrome! That's a weird visual movie, yes! But it has a script, yes!The worst in all this is that people get money to spend to do that kind of things. It is a BAD thing for Belgian cinema!Avoid!!!

Yes ... Every scene is beautifully lit and designed ... But there isn't one new idea in this boring piece of junk ... At times you feel like you are watching a car advert ... And frankly an adverts length is about all these two could handle well ... They wouldn't know what to do with a character if their lives depended on it ... And wouldn't know a narrative if it bit them on the bum ... NO ... They do not manage to create an alternative surreal dream narrative, though I expect that it what they would try to claim ... That I'm afraid takes imagination and that isn't something you will find here Now don't misunderstand me ... Each scene is shot meticulously ... And would look perfect ( if somewhat lacking in ideas ) as a coffee table book ... As a film it is a complete, vacuous, failure And I would like to point out to the directors, that endlessly refer to their gialli influences, that these lighting effects actually were mainly used in Sword and Sandal/ Fantasy and Horror films in Italy in the late 50s - mid 60s and really were quite rare in gialli
