User Reviews

Horrible.

I like non-sense movies, maybe something like Terry Gilliam does. I came from viewing Parasite (great movie, grotesque and deep), and after 15 minutes of this horrible trash (that's not non-sense, that's empty-sense), i thought what's wrong with italian director? Why this terrible trash? Take soundtrack (great tracks from Vitalic), take the prologue scene (great... and that's the only only scene!!!) and throw all the rest.
