This is a film that demands a bit of perseverance but if you stick with it and take the time to mull over the often incomprehensible plot then it's actually pretty awesome. In a lot of ways it reminded me of Tarkovsky's film Stalker, where people walk and talk a lot but fuck all actually happens. It's shot beautifully and the post-apocalyptic atmosphere is one of the most oppressive I have yet experienced. Worth a look

Starts out extremely intriguing and really draws you in, believing that something amazing is going to be revealed but in the end all you have is a finale of uninteresting religious mutterings and obscure imagery.
