Amid the Civil War in 17th-century England, a group of deserters flee from battle through an overgrown field. Captured by an alchemist, the men are forced to help him search to find a hidden treasure that he believes is buried in the field.
Intense and delirious period drama photographed in excellent
black-and-white, all accomplished in a very limited setting (a field),
at times grisly, tinged with black humor, but also hard to follow.
Maltin**1/2: "Despite a seemingly conventional plot, this is really an experimental and metaphysical head trip of a movie in which the psychedelic style...trumps the incoherent narrative."
