8.5 / 10

Rating: Null/10 (20 July 2003)

I have read alot of bad comments about this movie, and many before I first saw it 3 years ago. I hesitated to see it because I had heard SO much negativity about it. Naked Natives, Pretentious poetry, etc...
I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like all kinds of movies, I am a true fan. I like action, comedy, sci-fi, suspense, but this movie also holds distinction for me. The pace is slow, yes, but if you have an attention span of longer than 5 minutes, and you have lived a little bit of life, you might enjoy this one. It is very surrealistic, but it is often the vehicle of surrealism that allows us too see our own reality more clearly. Unlike the 1964 original, the arcs are not clearly defined, and the conclusions aren't tightly resolved. It is a different kind of film. A trip if you will. If you are relaxing at home on a Sunday, this movie is a good choice.
