Dharma Guns

What's going on in a dying brain? German Expressionism mates there with Ed Wood's story fog (second death, demon, virus, contamination), add to that some biomechanics, biopolitics, and paranoia. The symbols are deliberately centrifugal enough not to make sense, the dialogues resemble bookworm delirium, the space-time falls on its head and is generated completely against any logic... and the whole thing is shot largely by means that have not been used for decades, and it has an aesthetic that is inimitably concocted yet admirably consistent (perhaps the only thing that holds "conservatively" together in the film). In general, it is a work whose appreciation is probably a matter of a specific mental deviation that I (apparently) have. Because unlike everyone else, I liked the film, and in a strange telepathic way, I understood it, even though I can't reproduce it in words. I thank Tetsuo for selecting similar audience exterminations for the FFF. (30/11/2010)
