Dark Comedy with an existential edge

Rating: 9/10 (8 December 1999)

After leaving the theater, I was not only deeply engrossed in the creepy feeling of the over all concept, but also wanting to view the film again simply of the astounding puppeteer work. I found this film struck an excellent balance between comedy/fantasy and realistic introspection.
I don't know how long it will take me to get the image of when John M. enters his own portal out of my subconscious.
I highly recommend this film for those who enjoy fantasy with a dark, realistic edge.
