Not just a movie, a glimpse of the sublime. One of the most beautifully crafted films I've ever seen. Sure it's slow but when the drama comes it pierces right to the bone. I've heard the philosophy behind the film criticised for being naff. I don't understand how people can say that. This film comes from the heart. It questions deeply: why are we here? what is the nature of consciousness? what does it mean to be human? I don't think it tries to answer these questions. Rather it stares right into the abyss of our existence and says YES, it's all worth it. Is this naff? Not to me. It's the most inspiring cinematic experience I've had so far. Thanks Stan.
