I have finally found a director who takes me to where Lynch and others do not dare to go - to that next level. If Lynch is a surrealist than Dorenfeld offers a kind of hyperreality that will challenge your senses - at times you will want to avert your eyes but you cannot and you emerge from the experience of watching this movie with a sense of accomplishment - you have been exposed to something new and have in fact changed as a person because of this.
"Have you ever seen the darker birds . . .?" The director drops you into the abyss, into the lives and thoughts of 3 suicidal personages. For me, the Jonathan Silver character episode is the dark heart of this film - incredible acting by Michael Childers, really, an amazing performance with great direction, also a new form of cinematography - of voyeuristically probing zooms and camera angles - of the director's penetrating consciousness . I had dreamt of this sort of darkness, but I had never seen it, until now.
The other two episodes - Brooke, Merrick are also fascinating, at times unbearably emotionally wrenching and intercut with disturbing psychedelic pencil animations, etc. - this film is an amazing world that must be seen to be unbelieved.
