I enjoyed this movie. At its core, it's a story about a young man who is depressed, trying to find his way in life and troubled by his unsatisfying relationship with his boyfriend. That said, the core is buried very deep and we are taken on a wild journey of imagination. Albert, the boy's therapist, is the guide into Jungian Active Imagination, leads him on his journey, guides him, and follows him. We visit the jungle, the city, the garden, the nightclub, the intermingling of bodies, the desert, and the apartment. Ultimately, the therapy leads Albert into confronting his own Shadow, which he does with grace. The music is very effective throughout the movie.
