This may be an early example of the genre called Slipstream'.
Christopher Priest, the UK writer, termed the phrase. It describes this genre that attempts to move beyond the conventions of Sci-FI and Fantasy to tell stories. Other films would include Adaptation, books by J.G. Ballard and P.K. Dick. I think the lack of a recognized genre hurt this movie but, as usual, the audience is culturally light years ahead of the critics and it seemed well attended the day I was there better than you would believe from the bad reviews.
Critics could not read the movie and determine if it was not any good. But I thought was interesting example of a new "B" stream genre.
