I can't help but be curious, so I hope whoever gets to see the media available at least gives us a little more to go on. The quote at the end just heightens my morbid curiosity.

“Seeing this film was really awe-inspiring, in that you are rarely in the presence of a perfect object,” Shearer said. “This was a perfect object. This movie is so drastically wrong, its pathos and its comedy are so wildly misplaced, that you could not, in your fantasy of what it might be like, improve on what it really is.”
