A life laced with nightmare!

Rating: 8/10 (23 June 2008)

An industrial worker, whose constantly losing weight and drifting away from the real world, imagines people and weird notes appear on his fridge. he chases a very strange individual and his best companions are a hooker and a waitress who all might or might not even exist!!! I believe that if Kafka ever wanted to make one movie, this would be it! Bale shed an amazing 63 pounds for his role and his emaciated body seems to be falling apart in every scene... he gives a powerful performance though. he is surrounded by a good cast and the photography and colors are commendable as well. An impressive movie from always-riveting Anderson whom I truly admire.
