Well, I've never seen a film quite like this before. Once again filmmakers using period equipment create a very authentic feeling sense of time and place. Also authentic are the cast of mainly unknowns who inhabit these awkward characters.

Initially hard to get into, once the main players are identified the events and character interactions really suck you in and as different sci-fi-ish themes are introduced the film starts tripping out a bit along with them.

Absolutely fascinating from start to finish, with a handful of really great scenes, authentic acting and plenty of bizarre moments. Leaves you with a lot to think about. Perhaps not all of it feels cohesive but I really enjoyed it nonetheless.
