I do not think this is one of her best works, as it is often cited to be. It's technically astounding, filled with interesting shots and effects. But for all her attempts to embrace surrealism she clings to the necessity of the narrative, an experiment that (for my taste) has only been successfully attempted by Bunuel and Bergman, and to a lesser degree Tarkovsky. There are also a lot of interesting images, the cloaked antagonist with a mirror for a face stands out, but it remains a sort of Frankenstein's monster of cinema, halfway between the real and surreal without the necessary components to integrate the two. Still quite enjoyable though.
