Possibly the best surreal fantasy ever

Rating: 9/10 (14 April 2000)

This film has the most paranoid, psychedelic story I've seen in ages. Its surrealism makes Monty Python (or even Bunuel) look like the most reasonable of all people. It is said that BJM is a metaphore about our urge to become someone else. I don't know about that, but it is surely a film that takes you to a trip you never want to end; and after making a series of small masterpieces in music videos, Jonze makes surely the most spectacular feature debut of the year (along with Sam Mendes, of course). Oh, yes, and the most original "menage a trois" (or "a quatre"?)one could ever hope for.
