This is damn good

In a time where millions are spent developing stupid "3d" televisions and equipment to films in "3d" these guys come around and steal the show with a black and white and mute film.
Some people are in for a cultural shock, others simply won't get it. Isn't the message clear? Technology should be to the service of brilliant scenarios, directing and music.
Overall this movie gave me hope that serious art will eventually reach the mass and we will leave behind our current era of superficiality.
From a certain point of view, this movie brings post-modern art to the movie-watching masses. Being in black and white and the re-contextualization of the thematic elements makes it more than a simple homage. I am unsure if it's been done this successfully before; while Postmodernism has proliferated in contemporary music and art for a good 30-40 years now, in cinema it has largely been avoided,for commercial reasons. It is simple and charming, far from pretentious, slightly contemporary in its presentation, and certainly deserve its awards.
Brilliant acting too by the way. I don't need to say more, just go see for yourself.
