Wow! Huh?

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2002)

I must that this film, is to put it mildly, is very interesting. The process the film takes to get from point A to point who knows, is absolutely fascinating. It makes no sense, and I think people who say they figured it out are just deluding themselves. However its a good film for anyone who wants to kill brain cells trying to give it some logical order to it in their minds. Still, to me this seems like one of those films that not even the director has a clear idea of where he's going.
Anyway, the acting is top notch, and the actresses are gorgeous. I think I'm young to figure out the fixation many people have attached to Ann Miller. The music, is at times subtle, and then in your face, but overall an excellent addition to the mood of the film.
I admire this film for it artistic liberties, but somehow it seems very unsatisfying to watch a film and not actually get anywhere in terms of plot. Considering some of the fare in the last few years, the lack of a plot doesn't seem so bad. At the very least, it gives the viewer everything, but, a discernable plot.
I have no clue whether this is a positive, or negative statement of the film. I feel this is a movie that is in shades of grey, even if it is a film noir. See the film, and make your own opinion. I think that with everyone saying it's a great film, you always get the emperor's clothes. So see the film, make a decision, and revise it as you need to.
