It’s about an injured stuntman in the hospital telling a little girl stories to manipulate her into helping him. Genuinely, I’ve never seen a movie so visually and conceptually intriguing.
Back when I first watched it, the licensing had lapsed so you couldn’t buy or stream it anywhere, except for a $50 eBay dvd. It became my life’s mission to find it SOMEWHERE, and the only place was in a library on the other side of the state. The gratification of tracking down physical media and being rewarded with this masterpiece….. I can’t even tell you.
Last I heard, it’s now streaming on Mubi. I so highly recommend looking it up.
