Utter crap

Rating: 3/10 (16 January 2009)

We have determinedly and desperately tried to immerse ourselves into 'THE EXPERIENCE' the below extract of a 3,000 word review exemplifies my whole problem with the film......
"The film is a dream, an illusion, but not in the usual, cheap sense of the term -- it's a MÃ¶bius strip, an Escher painting, a page from Finnegans Wake; it defies waking logic, and yet appears remarkably complete and seamless."
......and that is nobody gets it!!! probably not even the director himself, it appears a meandering collage of crap that invented itself as it progressed. Attempting to elevate itself into a typical art college discussion group that if you don't get it you are 'outside of the clique' exemplifies the condescending approach taken, delivered and passed on by the small number of radiohead fan base who 'sense the provocative and exhilarating direction taken' (not my words). Don't get me started on Radiohead, who are the worst band ever elevated to cult status by the pure fluke of enough art college students deeming their life is worthless because their parents only bought them a PS2 and not an XBox or a Wii!!! I am sure this will not be well received and that the impression is we are 'Die Hard (1,2 3 & 4)' fans......(which we are to an extent)....... ....but when my 10's include 'Goodbye Mr Chips (1939), El Maquinista (2004), Nil By Mouth (1997), Paradise Now (2005), Withnail & I (1987), Der Untergang (2004) and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975), hopefully demonstrates some semblance of sanity when i say this film is an overindulgent, self absorbed meandering film of nothing noteworthy of an otherwise respected Director.
