A strange ride, if you're in the mood for weird, graphic sex and horror you might be engaged. It explores some visceral themes, was deeper than I expected, thought provoking in a lot of ways. The main actor Noé really carried it, he wasn't just acting, he was the whole movie, like the movie put all it's goals and aspirations on his shoulders and he just said "yep no worries". Worth watching just for his performance really. The visuals were stunning (a lot of the 7/10 is for that), the subject matter was bizarre and challenging, like about intrusive thoughts and existence, life and birth and death. Fascinating in a lot of ways, hard to watch in a lot of others, but very smart and a lot more intriguing than I ever expected. Loses points because it meanders a bit and is a bit too arthouse for it's own good, fine you have a closed set kind of story but it needs to make sense in the world you've setup or it's just stuff happening. It answers a lot of interesting questions confidently but makes very little sense narratively. Maybe there's more to the storyline than I give it credit for but I didn't like it enough to think into it further. The brown tape budget was higher than other films I have seen, I also didn't know you could make gasoline from bread and animal fat.
