I just realized that I never wrote a review of this, even though I watched it like 3 weeks ago. Well, frankly, I do not like it. I find no enjoyment while viewing this thing. There are deep explanations for every scene, every shot, every everything. But while watching this through one time, it is all over the damn place in what the hell is happening.

Sure, you can go through and tell me all about what all the pieces mean. For the most part, I am totally fine with a film needing to be viewed multiple times to get all aspects out of it. In fact, that is a great attribute of the best films. However, the first viewing should still be understood. It should not be this questionable and confusing upon a single sit through. The first view should tell you what happened, and future viewings flesh it out even more.

I get it though. That is my taste in film, not a rule of law. Those who disagree with me on this simply have very different tastes in this aspect. But me... I have no ambition to watch it again. At the same time, I'd manage through it just fine as well.

@saundrew This perfectly sums up how I felt. After reading about what the hell I just watched I had a lot more appreciation for it as a film, but that doesn't change the fact that watching it the first time was not enjoyable at all because I spent the whole time trying to piece random nonsensical bits together and failing because they weren't meant to make sense.
