I had to post a review after seeing this film, as most of the above reviewers seemed to gush profusely about the profundity of this film seeing something more than I. Don't get me wrong, I like to watch arty films and can find all the Freudian symbolism, but the asthetic was just plain awful (no matter how remeniscient of "German exprssionistic mountain films" {wot does that actually mean anyway???} it is) and the acting is purely crumby. As a lover of B-Movies, I wouldn't even rank this as a "so bad it's good" film. What a load of drivel. (PS: The documentary accompanying on the DVD shed some light on the small, closeted life of Mr Maddin and helped to explain the films fixation with homoerotica and insest, but didn't really make me want to rush out and find all of this directors work in a hurry!!)
