IMDB synopsis totally spoils the movie!

After watching this, I wondered how you could possibly write a synopsis of this movie without spoiling it. Sadly IMDB spoils it. It's obvious the creators of the film did not want you to know what was going on in the beginning. Not having read anything about the film really made for a pleasant surprise near the second act. Just when I thought it was going to end in some all nighter talking about life in a big yawn fest, you realize, oh wait, what was all that weird stuff in the beginning!? I love original movies!

Most of the IMDB synopses spoil the films they relate to and warn readers that they will. The summaries are less likely to involve spoilers. I don't see a problem.🐭

Yeah totally agree I went into this completely blind on a random visit to the cinema, where we just picked something to watch and I am so glad we did.

After watching it a year or so later at home I was even more pleased I saw it at the cinema. Wagner and the visuals just heighten the intense experience.

It had a profound impact on me, I grasped the central theme and the timing of that was quite interesting to me, I mean I knew there was something off with me at that point in my life and this film just added to that foreboding feeling.

This film really should be seen. It takes its theme as far as it can go and does it beautfully.
