A bizarre, baffling, imaginative work. I'm pretty sure I don't have a handle on what exactly went on, but I was so blown away by the surrealist imagery that it hardly mattered. It's almost completely made up of symbolism, yet the symbols don't link back to some real world ideas; instead, they merely connect to one another, forming a vast web of meanings that encompasses the entire film. It makes interpretation difficult, as there's no telling what this movie could really be about.

Also, it's got some rather brilliant homages to past surrealist works, specifically Un Chien Andalou. The deadpan serious narration with irrelevant time lapses, the recurring "buried up to their heads in sand" joke, even the razor across the eyeball moment is referenced. It's a brilliant pastiche that not only recognizes its influences, but full-on accepts it.

It's totally unlike Suzuki's studio work, and yet, somehow even better. All you surrealism fans out there, give it a watch. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
