The film was heavily cut from censorship and producers, with the final result being very different from the original.[1][2] Following this experience, Agosti decided to self-produce all his following films.[2]
The film has been described as "a loose string of quasi-autonomous images" in which "this emphasis on disjointed imagery becomes both a self-conscious alternative to classical storytelling and a thematisation of an existentialist experience of the palpable yet mysterious presence of both living and inanimate things".[3]
According to Italian film criticPaolo Mereghetti the film is "a classic depiction of alienation", withAntonioni's andFellini's influences, as well as "a grotesque, violent, and blasphemous flavor that echoesBellocchio'sFists in the Pocket".[1]
