At the end, it is only a matter of taste, of chemistry between the work of art and the individual receiving, experiencing it. For me, it was a great experience, one of the few that leaves you awestruck, dumb, full of admiration for this director who, understanding absolutely what cinema is about, offers us this symphony, this difficult mastered composition of image and sound bound together in a crazy rhythm. It happens, from time to time, but not very often, that a director uses the media in all its possibilities, and if you are really willing to go with it, it becomes a powerful ride. I don't think this is intended to mass audiences, though, because it requires an active audience, and again, you have to feel fit for it. There are movies to entertain us, to relax us, to makes us empathize with the characters, this is a movie to put all your senses to the test. Imagine you set yourself inside the head of a very creative person loosing the grip of reality, contemplating what is not very plausible to be real, immerse at the same time in the process of creation of a fiction story, with interferences of both worlds, along with the feelings that situation arouses in us. Very coherent with the story it tells, the movie puts you there, and makes you experience the same puzzlement and confusion the main character feels. That , and the complete master of the resources cinema offers, ends up in a very brave and modern piece. Mr Hopkins, waiting for your next one.
