A bleary-eyed fever dream lumbered with impenetrable literary references, Death and the Compass quickly loses its way and expires long before its 90 minutes are up.

When he [Director Alex Cox] overreaches and trips up...the thud is resounding.

Probably the kind of film for cultists who coo over Peter Greenaway films.

The director of Repo Man takes an Argentinian short story by Jorge Luis Borges and brings it to the screen with his curious style.
