An effeminate, murderous priest daintily runs around after a woman and a half-general/half-choirboy character who looks like Ernest Borgnine? Lots of breaking test tubes and drinking from large dishes. A brief glimpse of mammaries. Not disturbing in the way "Un Chien Andalou" is, but not particularly funny either. A hypnotic experience. The notorious Antonin Artaud wrote the screenplay.
