If you love weird and off kilter films this is for you. This tale of amphibious humans is like a waking dream. While there is a loose narrative thread this is more a collection of sounds and images that burn themselves into your psyche.
What is is like? Imagine the works of the Quays mashed with E. ELias Merhige's Begotten, mixed with Bill Morrison and some of the more avant garde Eastern European genre films. The movements are more dance than normal motion. Live action mixes with animation and experimental imaging.
You can't go into the film expecting a typical film, you have to go expecting an experience. You can't fight it, rather you just let it wash over you. There is magic here and you have to be open to it.
I'm not going to lie and say it all works. There are bits that didn't work for me. However at the same time so much of it worked that I am looking to see it again when I can sit in the dark and let the take me some where else.
Highly recommended for the adventurous
