I have no idea what this film is about - its all in French. But it certainly looks un rad.
If I was a DVD cover my blurb would read:
“Its Sin City meets Bladerunner meets Metropolis meets Waking Life”
Is this the latest indignity to be dealt on the grand Mosque of Cordoba? Converting it into a bathhouse? The French have no respect.
Anyone care to translate for us?
