Maximum weirdness in a dreamscape sci-fi western set on a nightmare planet inhabited entirely by women, two of them on a quest to track down and kill a devious outlaw named Kate Bush. (Drinking Game Advisory: Downing a shot whenever somebody in this movie says "Kate Bush" could be lethal.) It's all kind of pretentious, but Elina Löwensohn looks stylish in a broad-brimmed hat, and in the progression of strange and mystifying encounters, the almost-dead horse and the screaming caterpillars are only the beginning.
