I read a review of it in Newsweek last spring and then saw it while I was in Amsterdam in May. The Hollander next to me said that he didn't think that it would be released in the US because somebody thought it was too weird for our tastes. I thought it was great. (I also thought it was rather weird.) It was a combination of surrealistic extrapolation of 1950's ideals, larger than life images as found in nightmares, and satire of the real life atrocities of peoples numbness toward other people's plights. Actually, it was a fun movie (although mildly haunting). I certainly hope that the Hollander was wrong and that we will see this, what I believe to be British, film in the States.
