Comment

As opposed to what one could of to think while seeing its poster (an imploring hand whose palm is transpierced by an ant), this film can be qualified of simple with difficulty Film catastrophe. The slow rate/rhythm and the innovating visual effects make of it an atypical work, sometimes brought closer to the 2001 of Stanley Kubrick or Solaris of Andreï Tarkovski.
