Viewing Notes

Very unusual film that kinda sorta lacks a traditional narrative. There is a thru line of Om and his obsessive attraction to frogs that becomes an obsession for this village but much of this is abstract vignettes strung together. I like the absurdity of it all even if little of it makes sense. Reminded me a lot of Jodorowsky which is probably the best compliment I could give this.
