Saw a strange, but visually curious, new movie tonight called "MirrorMask." It's produced by The Jim Henson Company, but it's no kids movie.
It's about a young woman who lives with her parents who run a small traveling circus in England. Her mother falls ill during a performance and faces surgery. The daughter has this bizarre dream through which she realizes the adolescent hatred she carries is hurting only herself.
I can't begin to describe her dream -- it includes everything from light and dark queens, animals with the body of a gorilla and the head of a penguin, tigers with human faces that can only be passed when stumped by a riddle, a spider with a gigantic eye and a key that unlocks a mystery lock.
I've never done drugs. But this seems like one of those movies that would be quite something if you were on acid.
