I really don't know what to say about this movie that I just watched. I was reading a critical review on the movie and they were suggesting that this is the kind of movie that has to be viewed two or three times for one to be able to begin to understand the story, and the allegorical nature of the film.
Ultimately I think this movie was about a man who was so severely emasculated by such a horrific version of mom, that he ended up nursing mental issues that were beyond comprehension.
But if I think about the possibility of watching this film again I think that I would rather eat dirt, or go 10 days without food. This was a hallucinogenic nightmare and though I got some of the symbology behind it, I can't say that I really got the film. I can't say I derived much pleasure out of it, and I can't possibly describe it as any form of entertainment. I've heard it described as a comedy and there were a couple of moments that were funny, but really?
