Baffled. Is this lucid dreaming?

Rating: 4/10 (18 April 2017)

Years ago I thought vagaries of the weighting algorithm caused this movie to appear with such a high rating. As it remained almost static in top fifty lists around the internet, I had to go back and watch it a third time. It is as if a secret Franz Kafka Philip Dick Thomas Pynchon alternate reality quest eludes me and I am failing to hear the post-horn. I remain baffled.
