a Luis Bunuel wannabe

A bizarre, shapeless, surreal aberation on war, sexuality and death with an approach not unlike Alice in Wonderland; it incorporates a talking unicorn, a schizophrenic old woman, gruesome death scenes and plenty of female flesh, yet somehow it manages to be strangely unenjoyable. Malle is an odd director for this material and the main character gives an empty performance. Mainstream audiences should steer clear, and even movie completists will find little to like. Final Grade: C-
