An imaginary Christian deity is brought to life through the belief of his followers and promptly proceeds to judge them in kind.
PROS: This is one gorgeous picture. It's also packed with ideas and so much surreal imagery that it meanders a bit, but fans of head movies will get a kick out of it. I saw it with a festival audience who voted it Best Feature for the second time running, which speaks volumes for its uniqueness and quirky humor. For those who want to look, there are also a few messages about organized religion. Just be prepared to take a time machine back to the early days of midnight cinema, because they don't make films this strange any more.
CONS: The film's dreamy surrealism is often sandwiched between scenes of brutal gore and endless wordiness. There's a weird juxtaposition. Ideas and characters seem to spring out of left field and then disappear again. For example, what's up with the urinating harpy? Who saw that coming? This definitely isn't a film for the easily offended.
