A liberating experience

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2004)

One of the many things that I left the cinema with after viewing this modern masterpiece was a feeling of liberation, a feeling that the choices we make have a tangible, lasting effect on the universe, whichever one that may be, and that these choices give us a freedom to say, do, and act as we should for a higher truth. Richard Kelly has crafted a film that is equal parts comedy, fantasy, tragedy and even musical. His characters have an empathy and depth to them that makes the viewer burst with sympathy or loathing for them. It amazes me that one so young could create a film of such maturity and beauty. This film is great in so many ways, but I'm sure you all knew that already.
