An immensely beautiful existential exploration of…consent? That’s what I’ll choose, since the film itself tries so self-importantly hard to avoid being so pedestrian as to resolve a theme, much less a narrative.
Through a contemporary lens, it’s a bit like watching art people with no talent circulate at a party and make bad choices, with none of the fun. However, visually iconic and a natural result of New Wave and modernism as a whole, and a rare chance to witness when surrealism was mainstream enough to attract a wide audience and designer costuming.
