In the direct line of the series. Same world, same style. Not much more to say on that than on the others: - extraordinary world building concept - great visual style at all levels: decor, masks, costumes, underground views, lights, colors I'm a bit less fan of the whole "in negative" part though. I feel it's a bit of a cheap trick compared to the work done on the rest. But this one has a bit more of actual story, where the previous one was just a looooong chain of walking through orgies scenes. It looks like a long time has passed since the previous one, as, almost at the beginning, he finds the kid, but he's already an adult [spoiler]and even has kids of his own[/spoiler]. The main thread of the story is understandable, but it's still full of weird things. [spoiler] - He gets an egg, and something seems to hatch out of it, but I kinda missed what happens - He turns into a woman, not clear how, or why, or whether it was intentional. Probably not intentional since he kills the other woman immediately after - (S)He then gives birth to an adult with a skeleton head, but immediately discards it [/spoiler] I'm really not clear on what these were supposed to mean.
