What's the big deal?
Maybe its because I'm a latecomer to seeing this movie. When it was released it may have well been groundbreaking; but in 1999 it's just plain weird. It comes across as pretentious and absurd. While there are clearly brilliant scenes, as a whole the movie is little more than an attempt to shock and offend. Those are admirable elements within a movie but insufficient to suppply its foundation.
