Good film

I saw it in the tv guide and watched it with my mum of all people. I think she enjoyed it, but didn't really understand what was going on. I really liked the film, and I love the original comic by Moebius. A lot of symbolism in the film which caught my eye. My mum complained the film was short on plot, but I countered that it was all metaphorical. The ending makes complete sense to those who understand ayahuasca/shamanic healing, but I won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it.

Not the greatest film, but it's a good adaptation of Moebius's graphic novel and a decent primer for shamanism.
