Art is one of the most complex things to understand, right? I watched it twice so I could conclude that it is indeed understandable if you look through the underlines of dialogues and silent scenes. I must warn you that it's very difficult to watch and mainly see what the movie wants to show and/or make you think about. Very intense scenes.
I believe that this movie was a huge critic to the standards about women and our sexuality, fears and vulnerability. Although it all happens around 1960, the film implies yet nobody is willing to say or accept the truth about what's wrong with the world we live in. They all would rather ignore what's real and embrace the fake. The epidemic faints came from Mass Psychogenic Illness (MPI) and it's a very rare condition. I don't recall of any similar movie. Very innovative. I liked it. Worth a watch if you're a enthusiast.
