If is a very fascinating and unique film. The style is most noteworthy in the way the film switches between black and white to color, seemingly for no reason.
A very dark and surreal film, highly recommended.

I thought that the reason why they switched from black and white to color was that they ran out of money... The color scenes were shot first, then they ran out of funds and shot everything else in black and white.
It was one of my dad's favorite films of all time - he was the one that told me that story. Been a while since I've seen it.
