Rating: Null/10 (1 October 2000)

I was quite amazed by this movie. The photography was quite brilliant, makes you regret colour was ever invented. One very clever touch is the way the quality of the film reflects the main characters mental state- the way that when he was building up to one of his fits, it slowly got granier. Very effective. The soundtrack (weird electronic tekkno) was also perfectly suited to the film and well chosen. The plot.....is very very strange, but worth trying to understand, as it is extremely clever and will leave you thinking for a long time.
OK, now the criticisms. The whole style of the film is possibly just a little too like eraserhead, including the b/w phototgraphy and the retro-futuristic look. Not that that is really a bad thing, as eraserhead is also a great film. But my biggest problem is with the final scene. Its just too "nice" and completely out of keeping with the rest of the film. And if you drill holes in your head, you usually give yourself brain damage...... A brilliant film, but would have been even better if it had finished with the last but one scene
