Unlike you, I do find it to be entertaining, though—highly entertaining, but the mystery is—I'm not sure why. :-) Taken at face value, it shouldn't necessarily be so. But I think that's the genius of the makers. <br /><br />It is certainly thought-provoking as well, challenging us as to the definition of what a film is or what a film can or should do. (Why do almost all films tell stories in chronological order? Why do we place film in that box?)<br /><br />A lot of my enjoyment of this film is the wonderful score by the Alloy Orchestra on the dvd version I have. --dashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02916783237582906426noreply@blogger.com
