A love story between Tina, a customs agent with an extraordinary sense of smell, and Vore, who introduces her to her
true self, the film is «mesmerising in its initial
oddness and develops into a complex, richly satisfying piece of storytelling in which all the seemingly jagged, awkward edges eventually fit smoothly together,» according to Allan Hunter of Screen Daily.
Jonathan Mostow: It's
true that we did apply a heavy style to underline the
oddness of the world and give the film a different, arresting feel — but I'll leave the comparisons to others.
