One of the most visually impressive films I've seen of any genre.
Never liked animation.
Wow. Glad YT recommended an analysis video on this film. I had no idea it existed until now. This is the kind of film that is a lot more emotional than cerebral. I feel this right to my bones. Thank you, Mr. Tippett, sir.
oh my! such a cool film. Phil Tippett is the true mad god. visually amazing...don't ask me to explain the plot.
Firstly, this movie isn't for the faint of heart. Secondly, you'll have NO IDEA of what's going on unless you have an extensive knowledge of religion and symbolism or researched the movie beforehand. Many people fail to appreciate the beauty of this movie because of this complexity. But I assure you, this is a diamond in the rough. Push past the brutality and seemingly nonsensical violence and you'll discover a beautiful work that pulls at themes far greater than most media. The very nature of existence. For me, this movie has to stand as one of my favorite works ever. This is what I would consider an AUTHENTIC and GENUINE piece of art. It's complicated, it's brutal, it's beautiful, and so much more all at once. This is the kind of movie that will leave you thinking about it long after you watched it. I've seen it 5 times now over the course of 2 years. And each time I come back I notice another symbolic detail. Don't be turned away by the shallow review that fail to appreciate this work of art. If you're like me and desire to understand EVERYTHING about the universe and to question its' very nature, then this is the sort of film for you. Phil Tippet, you have a brilliant mind. Congratulations on making something truly moving and meaningful.
