Independent, clichéless and powerful - read about my experience, not about the movie

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2002)

Finally I see a movie again that doesn't care about anything that would fit it in this specific culture and it's tastes, there's no blabla, it's timeless.
The excellent soundtrack adds a lot of power to the raw black and white images of this movie, and the pain that's perfectly described through special effects (Max, the main person in this movie has terrible attacks of migraine) puts you right in the middle of the story, makes you believe what he goes through, and I was perfectly able to identify myself with him, identifying different mind defects of mine (light autism) in their effect (*) with his, which gave me a powerful boost, to get the best kick out of this movie.
(*) = no migraine, but built up frustration
To explain in between, I'm somebody that can connect with given theories if I can connect them with facts, and go into the story and kick enormously on the plot, when it all comes together. This is one of those movies that really gets me going.
I'm not going to talk about the story, this is a movie that you should simply see, and experience, which is the case with every good movie. You are going to experience what life's all about, the core thing that drives us is what you are going to see, the stockmarket is an example of this which Max is studying through out the movie.
Get ready for 83 minutes of raw black&white cliché-less power, a true piece of cinematic art. Bravo!
PS I've just seen it, and guess what, I'm gonna see it again.. #/-D
