review 1: No, I didn't understand the ending, either. But, oh well. Sometimes the quality of a journey makes up for a lack of destination. THE BALLAD OF BALLARD AND SANDRINE is the kind of storytelling I associate with David Lynch. It's dreamy, atmospheric, bizarre, creepy, and, frequently unsettling. The horror story as art. Perhaps not immediately satisfying, but the kind of tale I expect will linger with me a long time.
review 2: I normally love Straub and his work, but I'll be damned if I know what this is all about. It is confusing and disorienting. Highly surreal. It's like a dream or nightmare. It evokes certain feelings and emotions but plot barely exists. If you step into it looking for a surreal experience you will be satisfied, if you come expecting... more a straight forward plot you will be unhappy. Also comparisons to pornography are highly exaggerated less
