The Tug Of War Sequence
Before I start I would like to say that this film burrowed its way into my head on Friday night and I can't get it out. A mystifying, unsettling puzzle of a film.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the tug of war sequence. Did I miss something ? How come they were suddenly pulling on a rope ? Was it to pull the Alchemist into this world or did it pull them into another world ?
Is this based on a historical black magic practice ?
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
