Not a film for everyone. And though I deeply admire it, it's not a film that even I want to see again in the immediate future.
The movie is truly an open text--its generous poetry inspires free association rather than predictable emotion.
Looks like no other recent release...certainly rich enough to warrant more than one viewing.
The stranger and more unusual the characters, and the less they're explained, the better.
The territory where the circus sideshow meets the avant-garde...visually arresting, dramatically blurry.
The filmmaker brings the audience to a precipice of discomfort, implying that the discomfort is itself the point.
Juvenile and pointless.
