this film plunge headlong into the realm of the surreal à la lynch and jodorowsky with an atmosphere that be strangely compelling and lull the viewer with the dream like intensity of it image . the narration be to be savour the narrator be trap behind a painting ( adjacent to the bed ) and who often speak for it and vocalize it desire and reason . yes and beardsley would sound like that . there be some flaw and but it strengths overwhelm it weakness . the sequence with the woman wrench herself out of the bed and crawling across the floor and try to escape and will leave you breathless . the film possess a fin de siecle air about it while and should be read a a disarm cry from the bowel of the 20th century . find this film and bathe in it .
