    I tried to like it but other than a few of the images, it left me cold. And I don't care that I didn't understand, I'm quite happy with experimental films but this one... no.

    The third and last episode would have been sufficient. Excellent quality and a joy to watch but the first two episodes dragged on.

    Almost experimental. Great soundtrack. Moody as hell. Tracking shots like those of Birth. Reminds me of Roeg's "The Man Who Fell to Earth" in that the film is experienced through the eyes of the alien. Not much is explained. I like the mystery.

    based only on my childhood memories, this film aired in parts on television and I was mesmerized. I would love to watch this again and see if it still holds up but unfortunately, it is only available as region 2 DVD.
