    “Any advice to the people out there?”
    “Stay alive!”
    “How do you do that?”
    “Breathe!”

    Prophetic, in more ways than one. The shot at around 21 minutes which cuts to a plane flying overhead nearly the instant the World Trade Center was mentioned gave me chills. A lot of the mixing decisions and experimental shots made me think of Damon Packard. 

    This is a brilliant time capsule for a bygone era which appears to be made on no budget whatsoever.…

    Visionary, canonical, genius, brilliant, literally can not say enough good things about this one. A wellspring of ingenuity and invention that taps into the outer threshold of imagination and renders a lucid portrayal of other worlds and dimensions. I will never be the same.

    ”The desert became the past. The dead marched across the sands to reach me. Their shadows crossed my face, and I began to cry. The sky opened; I could see the darkness. I wanted to take a picture, but all I could do was dance.”

    My all-time favorite film which I struggle to talk about in any coherent or reasonable way. May its influence continue to seek vengeance for the dead across the pulverized gypsum of time 4,000 years BCE.
