God disembowels himself with a straight razor. The spirit-like Mother Earth emerges, venturing into a bleak, barren landscape. Twitching and cowering, the Son Of Earth is set upon by faceless cannibals.
One word: CREEPY!!!! BRRRRR I think this one is gona haunt me for a while... But really good though A b&w artistic, experimental gory piece. Very very weird. Because of the b&w, the film quality and the work they did with it (Approximately eight to ten hours of optical work - re-photographing, visual treatments, and filtering - was required to produce one minute of film. The total postproduction period for the 78-minute movie was eight months), you're not always really sure of what you are watching, but you can't stop watching, totally hypnotising, very bizard and gore! The scenes keep on going on and on and it starts creating this very weird feeling in your stomach. This added to a very weird soundtrack, it makes it really special
One of the kind if you like weird shit (warning: not for all tastes )
