Warning: weird boring and pointless.

Disappointing. Way overrated. There was no point to this movie other than perhaps some weird allegory for germany 80 years ago, something that is not at all interesting to me. Lack of interest was compounded by: random musical sections with midgets, characters dying and entering the story nonchalantly and kids that defy nature to never grow up. This can't be taken as a serious drama because the characters are inconsistent, do inexplicable things and have no depth. Nor can it be taken as a comedy because about 95% of the movie is not funny. The movie is not beautiful, the cinematography has again 95% not special. So what we left with is something weird and quirky that seems to go on forever. Not bad, but it will be a disappointment if you're expecting something else.

PS. The part with the horse head that is often talked about lasts less only 30 seconds and has nothing to do with the rest of the film.
