A film that unfolds some of the biggest questions in the field of metaphysics

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2009)

This film has an surprisingly deep meaning concerning metaphysics:

Does God or an ultimate Law exist?

If there is an ultimate reality then can a limited human being understand the infinite? Is it possible to try to understand it without becoming insane?

If we seek God or an ultimate Law in the Universe does the way we perceive things determine us to see order where there is no order? Was Kant right when he said that the structure of our mind determines the way we perceive things and this is why we see things in cause-effect and time-space relations?

Is it possible to find God or an ultimate Law using our mind and logic or do we need to transcend our senses and logic?

What happens if someone really finds the ultimate reality?

What changes happen in the way one lives, thinks, perceives things if one finds the ultimate reality?

The movie does not deliver any answers on these questions but makes us think on these problems.
And of course it is important to mention the overwhelming atmosphere of the film, the superb actor performance, the chiseled world of Max - down to the smallest details, the camera-work, the way we are dragged into Max's world.
