First half enjoyable, second half not so...

The first act or so, which takes place in the fantasy world of Lacplesis is a wonderful example of the kind of surreal fantasy that was being made around this time. All of it rather dark and abstract, full of nefarious characters etc. This portion of the film I really enjoyed. I wished they would have stuck with this setting for the entire time. Once the story switched to the wartime storyline I quickly lost interest, and was confused how the two storylines were meant to be connected. It felt like two entirely different stories to me.

Confusion and frustration with the film. Either way this one felt far too long, and couldn't really hold my attention for that long.
