boy meets girl supreme being; saves world

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2008)

The most beautiful thing about this movie is the editing. It's more a piece of music than it is a film. The intricate dance among the visuals, dialog, and music plays on the senses like a finely aged scotch. I enjoyed the plot and the dry wit throughout the film, as well. Many times it made fun of itself and its genre, while maintaining its integrity and its heart.
The director and editor take the bulk of credit (although the writing, acting, costumes, etc. are all quite good, I think) for a stunning show. I have watched it again and again, and will continue to do so for many years to come. Instead of listening to a fine concert, I will often choose instead to watch this film.
