This movie's so bizarre. I don't know why I liked it so much the first time, or how it ended up on the shelf, but this revisit wasn't all bad. Actually, it's kinda funny. It's an excuse to "study" human relationships and dynamics, but it's really just a messed up love square. Yes, a square.
So one girl's been super hairy her whole life, gets outcast by other people and ends up living in the forest, writing nature books. She winds up with a doctor trying to teach table manners to lab mice. Who has an assistant that worships him and speaks with a fake French accent. When they find a man in the woods who was raised by his father to be an ape, all hell breaks loose.
Yes, it's super weird. But it's kinda fun to watch this complicated story unfold. And the ending is just twisted enough to be worth watching the whole movie. I'm sure most people won't, but I like it.
