This is a very challenging movie to nut because it requires so much patience, but you have to admire it on craftsmanship alone. Phil Tippett took 30 years to make this stop-motion feature. I can't make heads or tails of it, but what this does get is style points for its grimy industrial look and dark, dystopian vision.
It's definitely a strange film. The visual animation, designs and atmosphere as a whole made the film for me, but it's dense material that is hard to penetrate.
