Quote :: Set in pre- World War II era. A young man is on a strange train to see his dying father in a sanatorium. But the place is going to ruin and recalls a lot of memories from the past. He is beset by soldiers from the past, colonial black mercenaries, girls from his early life, and his parents. It is an interior adventure, with unusual atmospheric flair and extraordinary sets

Not bad, a bit Tarkovsky like. Sort of an inside trip or a dream from a man who is going through his memories. Lots of good surealists moments but also too much bla bla bla, at least with Tarkovsky, there is a philosophycal meaning, here if there is one, I missed it. And 2hrs felt like 3 which is never a good sign Razz

But the dream representation is really nicelly done, that's the strengh of the movie: lots of elements of the man's past but with lots of things that dont make sense at all or in absurds locations... not badly made
