Do not watch this film if you are depressed, sad or melancholy because it will severely compound those feelings. But if you want to see how a genius filmmaker can create spectacular moods and atmospheres of real despair and pathos then this film is for you. It's a visceral experience and a challenging one at that...more like a cinematic occult ritual. Take particular note of Volker Spengler's fearless performance and also the "Frankie Teardrop" scene for an example of what I mean about creating a sensory poem of anguish using sound and visions.
