"If you don't understand this, in a few years you will"

This sentence might have been addressed to the two girls next to me and many others in the cinema. I get the impression that you either like this film or you're just puzzled by it. I was really impressed as for me it's a totally unique mixture of many things: there's a pinch of "The Ice Storm" (Ang Lee), a bit of Lnych (Blue Velvet), "Sex, Lies and the Videotape", ... It's realistic and surreal. It's funny and sad at the same time. As it said, a totally unique mixture. I loved the music and the acting. Esp. Spacey's performance is excellent, but all the other characters are great as well. The theme is supposed to be American but I feel it's valid of many other places (definitely here where I live and probably Switzerland too) as well. I hope it'll do well at the Oscars as well.
