Reception
The film has been described as "a loose string of quasi-autonomous images" in which "this emphasis on disjointed imagery becomes both a self-conscious alternative to classical storytelling and a thematisation of an existentialist experience of the palpable yet mysterious presence of both living and inanimate things".[3]
According to Italian film critic Paolo Mereghetti the film is "a classic depiction of alienation", with Antonioni's and Fellini's influences, as well as "a grotesque, violent, and blasphemous flavor that echoes Bellocchio's Fists in the Pocket".[1]
