Plot: There's a relatively easily discernible narrative about a woman who mourns the loss of her lover, which forms the core of the film. She drives around with an urn on the car seat next to her. Looking for comfort, she ends up in bar Fornacis, where she meets Wolf. He's also hurting inside and the two find comfort with each other, though it's quite short-lived.

In a world where so many things are insignificant, forgettable, feeble and interchangeable, Fornacis certainly is "something". It's equal parts cult and arthouse, a moody and mysterious exploration of a mourning woman. It's not a perfect film, it's also very explicitly and selfishly the thing it wants to be, which I'm sure will alienate many people. But if you consider yourself an adventurous movie fan, it's a must-see. A perfect blend of genre and author that was right up my alley.
