It is both - but mostly pretentious. It's super grainy b/m - scratch that, it's uber-grainy. It looks like a shitty print of a lost film. The art direction makes the film appear to be something even more ancient than film. Impressive effect and a true work of art, but there is no coherent story to follow and it turns into quite a bore after a while.

Even if you LOVE non-linear experimental films you probably shouldn't buy it without watching it first - but I guess that seems to be the problem. I don't think it's worth $95 But the opening scene is...psyche shattering.

Want to see something disturbing that you can get in Nextflix? Try "Shaye St. John & Kiki" I wrote the sole netflix review.
