A sophisticated depiction of what we see in our dreams without the SFX!

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2003)

It's a pity when quite negative comments are made about a film by a viewer who does not understand the movie. This film is not a pop corn movie, it presents a sophisticated insight into a conceptual analysis of dreams and hallucination elements. It is not depicted in an obvious manner but it's this that makes this film unique.
I recognised this films' beauty in hind sight. It did come a little difficult to watch towards the end but this was because I missed the point of the film. The second viewing made it much easier and I enjoyed this more now understanding the concept.
There are some fantastic scenes in this film that are second to none. The 'surreal' dream concept was played beautifully and to capture this idea without the use of special effects is a work of genius.
Watch the film carefully, enjoy it, don't blink, talk, pause the movie or make a cup of tea. It's in depth and not an easy watch but it is a work of art.
I can only think that Magnolia has some similarities in terms of the time changing, and that is a fantastic film. It's not the same of course and is not a messed up film that a naive watcher could decide. It is easy to deny it continuity, on the contrary.
Enjoy and I will give it a full 10/10 because its concept and the simple fact of subtle surrealness that played throughout that kept me on edge. It's simply a very good film and needs attentive watching!
