The most visually original film since 2001

Rating: Null/10 (18 January 1999)

This is the first film that I felt compelled to write a comment about. For the first time, I have seen a world on film that almost matches the complexities of my dreams. The contrasting styles, the sudden shifts of reality, it creates a world that corrupts the psyche into accepting its disturbing nature. Certainly this film deserves recognition for its art direction, but its mere creation warrants consideration as one of the best films of 1998, if not the best. The only part that started worrying me was when John starts talking about humanity being in the heart, not the mind, but luckily the film didn't end on that. To ruin the incredible climatic sequence by ending with overboard sentimentality would have been a sin.
