The plot leaves the real world when the gambler turns into a bear. The film ends with a talking fish.
For me, the film is an intense, partly disturbing firework of memories and feelings, as they are typically experienced by a man. It is about the soul, about life and death, about parents, about the women/wife, about reason and its limits.
Now and then there is an allusion to the "black arts", for me a Faustian motif. Abel Ferrara was unknown to me before; I would like to see more films by him. I will probably watch Siberia a second time.
