Notes
This is one of the strangest films I've watched in a very long time. In spite of a few plot holes (requiring a fair amount of energy suspending disbelief), it was enthralling. Complex.
My original order for this film apparently took a long while to arrive. I ordered a second copy. Now I have two.
