"It's one of those films that the entire time you watch it, you just think "How could they make this? Why would they make this? Was the world ever really so different that this seemed OK?"

If you enjoy this sort of thing, I highly recommend Alejandro Jodorowky's The Holy Mountain[1], which is both much weirder and far more profound than The 5,000 Fingers.

If you find yourself liking The Holy Mountain I'd recommend Jodorowsky's other masterpieces: El Topo and Santa Sangre.
