Lots to unravel.

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2003)

A beautiful movie, not only visually, but also conceptually. Certainly a challenge. Consider it as a pair of paranoid Hollywood nightmares, a la Nathaniel West. We're told that the two dreams are the same, and that there's a man behind it. One perspective is that of the starlet -- this year's model -- for whom all directions lead down from the precipice. The other is from the bottom looking up, where fame is just out of reach.
