Release Message:  Rebeca and the time machine.

Description:  An elaborate, gender-bending camp sci-fi epic with no aspirations toward narrative clarity. Redolent of everything from ñMetropolisî to ñPink Narcissus,î with plenty of outre sex and violence, this objet d'art is often funny and always visually inventive; but many viewers will find themselves sated long before the end. Pic may acquire midnight-movie berths in some territories, but fests, cinematheques and experimental showcases are likely to prove more welcoming.
