unclassifiable, great movie worth seeing

Rating: 10/10 (29 August 2004)

Seeing this movie again for the third time just recently, I've rediscovered the brilliance of this movie. A combination dark comedy, drama, and existential-tinged narrative all in a bundle, this movie is like no other. The multiple personality plot device is admittedly done too many times, but it supposedly mirrors the book which I haven't read yet. This perticular picture has the atmosphere and feel in the vein and spirit of other "society-noir" films.
Ignore the sanctimonious, holier-than-thou pseudo-intellectuals who champion their post-modern philosopher/writer of choice ("Pfft, this film is just a ripoff of Jacques Derrida, Wittenstein, and MacGyver!"). Any book will always convey information ideas differently from a visual medium like movies. If your in the mood for something different and mind-provoking, give this a view.
