Beautiful, disturbing and fascinating...an artfully composed and endlessly engrossing glimpse into the mind of a young schizophrenic.

Highly recommended.
Seconded! Amazing film. Aside from Peter Green's wonderful straight-forward, empathetic, and incredibly convicted performance, director Lodge Kerrigan created a stunning and unique cinematic technique by combining the realism of the visuals with an unhinged, dream-like soundtrack; a subjective look into what's going on in Peter's schizophrenic mind.

There's a concept in the Sanskrit philosophy of language called sphoṭa, and I think this film is a perfect example of it.
