DD is an amazing film, hampered only by acting worse than a British soap opera. It feels like a Western, although it’s set in South Africa. Some imaginative and expressively seductive use of filters and lighting give it a reality that feels like a drug-induced spirit journey, like it was birthed from the union of a Clive Barker short and a Ray Bradbury nightmare.
The director's commentary adds so much more to the symbolism, so if you have the time and enjoy those kinds of things then it's worth your time.
The film exists in a number of different versions of varying lengths. Mine was the Optimum release, running 104 mins.
