What Is Thoughts and Visions of a Severed Head About?

The premise of Thoughts and Visions of a Severed Head without spoilers.

The film weaves death throughout Smolder’s surreal homage to Belgian painter Antoine Wiertz, a Hieronymus Bosch‑style artist famed for massive, gore‑filled canvases depicting humans in varied torments.
