"A very good French update of the Greek myth. It's a surreal and inventive fantasy movie which is well worth watching."

Grotesque weirdness... (61 movies items)

"Probably the definition of visual grotesque in film. People walking through mirrors, a wind machine and a back-projection represent a trip to the netherworld, messages from Death can be listened with a radio..."
