This film is for real.

Rating: Null/10 (23 August 1999)

I really enjoyed this. I liked it more than Days Of Heaven. I liked it more than most Vietnam films I've seen.
I'll keep it short:
If you like things a bit different, if you can comprehend non-linear storytelling, and if you have an open mind, you'll enjoy this movie. If you allow the characters to grow before you without the normal plot cues, you will be happy. If you are not in a hurry to judge the film-maker or the characters he has created, you will be happy. If you are not in a hurry you will be happy.
If you want to pose as either a "i'm more indie than you" film "buff" or a "movies are... a+b+c" cheese critic, then don't see this film. Go away somewhere.
I hate to say too much because it's really a film you either get or you don't. If you get it, it's too simple to explain. I'll just say I enjoyed it both times I saw it, and it didn't feel like three hours. It made me see a lot of things differently, and I'm glad.
