Pretentious claptrap

Rating: 1/10 (22 January 2008)

Another of those films that hopes do dazzle the audience with a plot so convoluted and nonsensical that it hopes to embarrass the audience into thinking "I can't understand it so it must be a masterpiece". The film has impressive imagery and a memorable score by the Kronos Quartet but outside that it has to be one of the worst films I have seen in a long time. Ask people to explain it and they are at a loss to even describe the meaning or intent of the film so they use grandiose and irrelevant statements as convoluted as the film itself. Unless you are in need of a nap don't bother with this travesty. There are enough memorable films around that actually reward your patience with a cohesive plot.
