a man live in an endless floor.
7 Women, all naked and deathly pale, try to enter his claustrophobic world.
The seven women will be kill.
In “7 ½ women†I do not tell a story. What matters to me are emotions, which I want to reach with the disappearance of the story. It is paradoxical to see how these emotions affect the spectators, although they do not find any structure to hold on to.
The only moment that gives an orientation are symbols, which plainly represent life. Thus there is a sky, planets, a universe, a man and a woman. You’ll find a whole cosmos in this movie.
It is essential to me to grip humans directly with their feelings, the very feelings which are all too often buried or asleep by information garbage and an illusory moral. I have no respect for a moral which destroys and eats up modern humans from the inside. I’d rather believe in direct and emotional understanding which undoubtedly goes more deeply than moral ever can and will.
This is precisely for this reason I also decided to represent violence in this film. It works like cold water splashed at the head of the spectators.

“6 pictures of a universe†is a dreamlike and threatening vision of a strange world, a world with its own rules, its own time and its own rhythm.
The dramatic technique is also attached to these rules.
The film presents a claustrophobic, depressing world. However, it shows dreamlike, very aesthetic pictures and it aiming relentlessly at the sub consciousness of the viewer in a direct way.
