Awesome and underrated movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2007)

This is a true work of art... And it is very hard to describe.
First point, the movie is gorgeous. Every still frame in this is a pleasure to watch. The colors are strange but good looking. At this point even if you don't understand anything to the story, the movie would be worth watching as it is a pleasure to the eyes.
For the story, it's a bit hard to understand. You must not switch off your brain a minute during the movie or you may end up with an incomplete story. It would be sad !
This is a very imaginative work combining three stories spanning three different historical period. And yet, those three stories are related in a way you'll discover as the movie unfolds.
It combines religion, mythology, science fiction and love in the same story. If I would explain you that story right here, you would think that the author of Requiem for a Dream has taken too much drugs. Don't pay attention to what people are saying about this story, it's impossible to do it justice with words. Go to the nearest theater or DVD shop and see this movie.
It may seems a bit pretentious at times. Right ! But the result is really awesome. We had not seen anything that ambitious since Stanley Kubrick's 2001 ! Is it as good as 2001 ? Time with tell.
