This film has great locations, but that's really the only good thing about it. Right from the start I was really annoyed by the terrible acting, so over the top and hysterical. I don't know why some people have called it a masterpiece and influential or even poetic, maybe they haven't seen "The seventh seal" (1957) by Ingmar Bergman, which deals with similar themes and in a much more masterful and poetic way. Also "El Topo" (1970) by Alejandro Jodorowsky would be a much better film to watch instead of this one. The "poetry" and songs in this movie didn't add any depth for me, along with the poor and theatrical imagery they just felt shallow and random, they don't feel like dreams or part of some strange apocalyptic world, they feel too staged, all actions and dialogues are carried out with too much predetermination, with no emotion or purpose. The clothes and different accessories seem out of place, they don't make any sense with the locations. I think the only moment that felt more natural was the scene with the kid in the ice. Nico's singing is powerful, but the lyrics are horrible. Whatever meaning this film has it's not within it and it's funny the director would forbid subtitles, as if it would make it more meaningful or mysterious. A short-film could have been more interesting.
