i had heard about this movie while doing some research about Dune. Alejandro Jorodwarsky had the rights for a while to direct the movie, and he had retained HR giger to do the art design, and the crazy dude to that wrote alien to write it. With Salvador Dali to play the emperor. (holy shit that would have been rad) Anyway they were talking about the movies that he'd made as being totally wierd and man is this movie ever that. It starts out and with this guy who wakes up and starts to get a crucifix made in his image, after he destroys them all he eats the face of the original and then ties a bunch of red and blue balloons to it and sends it up to the heavens, then things start to get wierd, he follows a giant fish hook to the top of a building to find an Alchamist (played by AJ) who starts to turn the thief's poop into gold. Then things take a turn to the strange. Wow this movie is wierd and man is it ever good. He does things in this movie that you just can't do these days, it is wierd fucked up and awesome, david lynch wishes he could make movies this awesome.
i suggest that if you rent this watch it with the director commentatory it is amazing and he actually explains what's going on, making it really enjoyable. imagine watching inland empire and having lynch expain what the fuck is going on. oh that's right he can't he just makes things wierd for wierds sake.
