The Complex Forms is a master achievement in visual design. Everything, from the stunning black-and-white cinematography to the conceptual creature designs to the stark splendor of the sets and the pulsing orchestral score, pushes the envelope for an independent film budget. The story, however, though narratively simple, is very difficult to digest in one sitting. Multiple viewings may be required to understand the plot. And even then, you may be left scratching your head in confusion.
