A surreal, visual feast based on Boris Vian's novel about a wealthy man who marries a woman who develops a rare illness caused by a water lily growing in her lung.
The film is celebrated for its incredible visual invention, featuring rooms that change shape, eels that pop out of kitchen taps, and dancers with elongated, rubbery legs. While some critics found the 131-minute original cut "exhausting" or "overindulgent," others praised it as a heartfelt and visually stunning adaptation of a difficult-to-film novel.
