And again you're right on the singular vision and I'm all the way behind this one. The entire thing just clicked for me though I didn't quite get what Mary-Ann was up to in the opening scene until after I talked with Leeny. Creepy creepy creepy. Rot - no release date yet but when I asked Norton about it after the Q&A he mentioned there are a few more festivals in the works before they start talking release. Frankly, I doubt we'll get a release anytime soon though my fingers are crossed that someone with money sees the vision and gives the film a good release. I could see a brilliant Criterion release of this. It would convince me to buy Blu-Ray in a heart beat. @Agent Orange – I read your review after seeing it and had to look up Stan Brakhage and you’re bang on.

Love the Great Depression, and get a kind of Malick/Reygadas feel from the visuals. when is it coming out? Oh I am interested in seeing this from the trailer.

Both the themes and the look reminded me of Stan Brakhage and I said so as much in my own review: http://tinyurl.com/yjp5x8u Not spamming, just sharing :) Notice a commenter told me I was "on crack" for liking it, but I think that's just because it's such a singular vision. With art films like this, people are either going to get behind them or not. I also really dug this film.

It was like a magical journey through some twisted realistic dream. I hope it comes back at some point - I'd love to see it on the big screen again. Either way, I will own this. For me, it's just too good to pass up. I loved every second of it. It was like a magical journey through some twisted realistic dream.

I just did not see the same things you did in the film. I am still not sure we saw the same film even though you were sitting next to me. It was OK.
