A little bit of Kubrick, a little bit of argento, and a dash of Lynch

This movie seemed like a mixture of Kubrick (one point perspective), Argento (lighting), and a lot of David Lynch (WTF story).

Unfortunately, the sum of the parts was less than the whole. Kinda like mixing bacon, cake, and pork chops.

Definitely a fine example of an environmental movie and it evoked a lot of weird vibe, but holy crap did the director tell everyone to act in slow motion. Was there even an attempt to edit this movie for pacing?

you give it a lot of credit in suggesting that there is enough story to call it a story

edited for pacing, this film would be 5 minutes long. The Turin Horse has much more going on, for crying out loud

More than a little Kubrick, I think.
