i a big struggle . a a story that be surreal and this movie could have be great ( as great a it be rat by some here ) and but mixed with the acting ( director and relatives play major role and due to financial reason i reckon ) find in here . although call this acting and be not only a stretch of that word and it give it a new meaning . a whole new meaning . if you be into surreal movie ( there be some that i do like actually and see the japanese strange circus for example ) and you might be able to overlook the flaw ( see above ) and enjoy this more . there be great idea here and after all . many great metaphor and ambiguous scene and but while watch this ( with a group of friend ) almost all of u and just couldn not stop laugh . not the intention of the director of course . again and everyone have their own liking and a one can see by the high rating of this movie and but i could only recommend the movie if youre aware of the work that alejandro jodorowsky have do and or or be a fan of his .
