Did Goddard direct this film or Kenneth Anger? The film is reminiscent of Experimental films in the 60s and 70s in the US with more surrealism than realism. The DVD cover gives away the plot.
Lots of style, no substance.
Can only sum up film with 'bank robbery gone bad". I assume.
I am reminded of an art work whose method of expression far exceeds the ideas embodied in it.
I.e. what the hell was this all about.
You could call it imagistic film making. That is, the film is what is shown on the screen, bullet holes, angry faces, female urine flow, more bullet holes, gun sounds, explosions, dream imagery, and what is that shot about? type structure. That sums up the film, other than there is a bank robbery and cops and robbers get shot.
The scene where the girls red dress is shot to pieces and torn off her body by bullets is interesting. Kind of an homage to spaghetti westerns.
It is not dazzling but tedious.
But nevertheless, experimental films like this are important...important to let you know to really appreciate films like Once Upon a Time in the West for its brilliance.
You cannot write a spoiler to this film. It is impossible, because you don't know how it ends. It doesn't 'end', it just kind of stops.
Best viewed whilst tripping on some kind of substance.
