sad to agree with the majority here...

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 2004)

I'm not one of those who like to agree with the majority. Thus, I'm in a predicament now that I know how highly it has been rated.

The film was recommended by a colleague who couldn't praise it enough. So, finally I get around to watching the dvd today and have to say it didn't dissapoint. The cinematography was excellent. The plot a little confusing. It is easy, I can understand, for someone to say that they completely understood the film and the concept just to make themselves look intelligent. Also, denouncing the film could leave you looking like a moron who didn't even give the film a chance. All I will say is watch it once. Even then, you'll at least think it original. Then watch it with the commentary and there will be that 'oh, I get it now..' feeling and a 'that was clever now wasn't it' feeling after playing the special features and interacting on the website.
People say this is a film made for dvd. This is not a mocking comment but merely a reference to the fact that this film is better watched on dvd. Seeing the film once, may leave you feeling unsatisfied. As the whole conclusion to the film can be seen as quite vague some might argue this was done on purpose. This may have possibly been to make you think about the plot, to see it again, or maybe go out and buy the dvd and exchange ideas with others about what you though it meant. Thus, generating a cult of sorts (which it appears to have achieved). Some of the best films are those you want to watch again and again, not once, and then feel satisfied. You will watch this film once and want to watch it again to fully understand it. Then again, to pick up clever little bits you never saw. Then again, for pure enjoyment, and so on.
Those of us who want a dvd packed with special features you actually want to see, that help you understand the film more, and that has a link to a website, where more fun and games await, should definitely get this.
