Unconventional does not mean good

Rating: 2/10 (17 April 1999)

This movie is different from the usual all-the-same Hollywood production, but this does not imply it's good. Awful is the right word. Some pseudo-intellectuals think it's enough to use black and white to make an art movie, but then please don't overexpose and shake the camera willingly: for me junk art is simply junk and not art, and this film is unpleasant even from a technical point of view. Indeed the only thing I do not trash completely is the sound track. For the rest, the movie is superficial and full of stereotypes. If you know more about mathematics/computing and medicine/psichiatry than a 14-year old, you'll be utterly disappointed by the dullness of the plot. Some splatter scenes, especially the final one, are gratuitous. I wanted my money back. Do not waste your time with it. I warned you. Unless you are a pseudo-intellectual: in this case you'll absolutely love it, and discuss at length with those like you how great and deep it is. Bleah.
