This film is a humorously dark portrayal of the possibility of nuclear war caused by the repeated and consecutive decisions of many dog headed leaders in military and science. Very funny and full of brilliant characters!
Beautifully artistic and an unapologetically direct take on the human condition set in a, whimsical almost steampunk, world. The score is extremely good but also unsettling, the performances are comedic and brilliant, and the cinematography/artistry on display is refreshingly surreal.
If you’re a fan of Lynch then this has to be in your list.
The following quote best sums up this film:
‘The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.’
HP Lovecraft
Suffers from a lot of shaky cam but honestly it seems to achieve its goal of portraying the side effects of a cosmic horror being and the melting of the mind.
Found footage and cosmic horror done very tastefully. Slow build up but final destination was a great payoff and absolutely horrifying.
