Brilliant directing, acting, editing and story

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 1998)

This day we had opening in Croatia, and it doesn't seem to be a visited movie. It's a pity, because I think it's brilliant work, and I've seen it already twice during this two days. I don't know what to think, it's highly emotional film filled with dark world of Franz Kafka, the fright of big cities, of loneliness. I recognised lot of influences, but they're used on purpose. I recognised Gilliam's "Brasil", Lucas "Star Wars", "Batman"... Also, I can recongnise big Comic influence, while I watched at film, `I had the feeling that I was reading a comic book. But most of all, I had feeling I read a book. Those strange feeling which most of us had lost, that relaxing emotion when you read Ray Bradbery novels, detective stories, Stanislaw Lem... It's also unusually intelligent story, unusually for Hollywood.
All in all, very unusual film, I can say so, because, I've seen a lot. Drasko
