It's often rather hard to tell what's going on here, isn't it? The visual style often deliberately makes things more obscure than they would naturally be (maybe partly to make the animated parts look indistinguishable from the filmed parts), and as a result I find that this film moves back and forth between being poetic and incomprehensible. The story about the moth seems clear enough, but I'm still not sure exactly how the woman relates.

This seems to have been the director's only film. There was a trend of that sort of thing in the early 1990s.
