The ending

What did you think of the mysterious ending? It could have been a normal city seen from a distance, but to me it seemed to be some sort of alien landscape, with a highly placed flame going off periodically, perhaps on a monolith.

I'll have to watch it again. I was very impressed by the artistry and mood of this beautiful and odd film.

Although totally different in plot, the strange and surreal atmosphere of this film reminds me of a French book I read when I was a kid. It was called in English "The Other Side of the Mountain" (La Montagne Morte de La Vie) by Michel Bernanos.

I really didn't get it either and I'm definitely gonna watch it again to TRY to figure it out. I suspect what we saw is what we get. This movie didn't speak to me at all. 1/10 for me.

It looked like some kind of oil refinery or chemical plant, so I think he was back to regular civilization. I also think Hadzihalilovic ended the movie that way to suggest that the women's mutations were caused by industrial pollution.
