There is something uniquely poetic and beautiful hidden within this seemingly messy montage of madness. Despite its nauseating and fast paced style, it is not only extremely watchable, but also extremely brilliant and entertaining. It is like an art film made my a mad man that has no boundaries when it comes to insane stylistic choices. It is an unpredictable little masterpiece that will make your mind think as much as it will make it confused. It has elements of humor, horror, romance, action, sci-fi, and fantasy and its all just 6 minutes! It is a film of every genre and of no genres, a film that is at times nonsensical, at others admirably intelligent and witty. Its wacky and wonderful, a brief cinematic epic that is creative and utterly brilliant. Guy Maddin uses his disorienting yet beautiful style to a point of both insanity and whimsy. If you can stand the style, this is an unskippable and truly unique work of art that must be seen to be believed.
