"It's a literal piece of **** film. The visuals and music are beautiful until they start the story. The story is shot on a vertical angle and is not told well at all.
A total crap movie unless you really try to give it meaning as fans of the movie will. Think of a classic novel that was written with no meaning in mind, but your high school teacher insisted that the author had a grand point and meaning for it all. "
"Gorgeously shot. Not much in the story department to be honest. An art film for sure (8/10)"
