Oh, this is possibly my favorite movie of all time and I'm so glad every time someone else discovers it! As you said, there's no other movie quite like it. It's strange and beautiful and tragic and all of the characters just burrowed into my heart the first time I watched them. I love them so.
ETA: The movie was based on a series of short stories published under the title Nikki and Her War Birds, and while I don't know that that would have been a better title for the movie (I think it's fine as-is), I do think that title really captures something about the relationship between the five of them.
