Brilliant, clever, funny, deep, moving, almost a masterpiece

Rating: 8/10 (30 April 2003)

It's been a long time since I haven't seen such an unconventional movie, done with so much talent, actually since Brazil, Delicatessen, or maybe Santa Sangre.
This one is near to perfect, the fantasy plot is delicious, the characters very tasty, the acting and direction are of sheer excellence. I laughed, I was moved, and I was deeply immersed in the storytelling. Definitely my kind of humor, definitely the kind of movies I'd love to watch more often.
Wouldn't it be for some little technical flaws, it would be a total classic, an absolute masterpiece.
I hope Spike Jonze will keep on making movies!
