==Reception==<br />
Anton Bitel, in his review of the film for ''[[Sight & Sound]]'', called it "Beautifully framed and shot [...] an elegant yet absurd [[diptych]] of supernatural tales whose odd parallels and asymptotic connections only add to their unsettling sense of illogic."<ref name="Bitel 2019" /> J. Hurtado of [[Screen Anarchy]] called the film "a challenging watch, for sure. The pacing is a bit slow and the material is quite obtuse for the most part, making mainstream breakthrough a tough road. However, film fans who like to be challenged will find plenty to dissect and enjoy."<ref name="Hurtado 2019" /><br />
