Wonderfully weird

Found a VHS in a car boot sale, paid three pounds and found the most obscure and original movie I've seen in years. The narrative is made up from three leads seemingly recounting random anecdotes. Suddenly they one by one appear again telling more stories on the same topics but this time as different personalities, this happens a third time. They are in front of some of the wackiest backgrounds I've ever seen. Sometimes they are beautiful sometimes plain daft. The effect is laid back and relaxed but compulsive viewing. Staggeringly off kilter from Hollywood fodder, in fact a million miles away from it. The influences of Jarman survive and can be found in this rare abstract work of genius.
