There is no ending and no beginning. Missing narrative destroys a film with mesmerizing sequences and images. Not sufficient unless we are simply looking for that, plus a sound track that at several junctures grabs a viewer by the throat.
What is so disappointing is the obvious filmic talent on display that goes nowhere. It is difficult to judge the acting because the style obviously demanded by the director is flat and almost entirely one dimensional. There are a few hiccups, such as an unwanted reflection or two, but generally the visual images are powerful, as are some of the sequences. I recommend serious viewers consult a copy of Kraft-Ebbing for a deeper understanding of some of the images.
