This is a Cronemberg movie so this already provides information on what to expect.
I found it more understandable than other films by the director but it retains all its fascination with horror, mystery and human perversions. At first it seems like a treatise on the meaning of art but gradually muted in the need to adapt to the change that man himself has brought to the planet. I found the protagonist's look of relief at the end of the film to be a positive touch in a film otherwise controlled by the compulsions and passions of the characters. I believe that acceptance of oneself is the only solution in the face of change as the protagonist understands after having spent years eradicating what he considered deformations from his own body.
