After a surreal night of passion, he awakens the next morning wondering if it all was just a dream.

    Trying to make sense out of this film is like waiting for a dwarf to grow.

    Surrealist curiosity directed by Robbe-Grillet. Has the effect overall of a Ridley Scott Chanel commercial. Will certainly hold one's attention even if the plot is incomprehensible.
