I can't begin to describe this picture, to do it justice. The film is a series of short vignettes (some that are plain bizarre) that start to make sense only at the end. Figgis is on top of everything: the beautiful composition of each shot, the music, the editing, and the story. Taken as a whole, Mike Figgis just might be the most versatile and multi-talented filmmaker today. Can we start to make comparisons to Bergman? Do we dare?In all, this movie isn't for everyone. If you fall asleep for a moment, it's all over. This is one of those litmus test movies. If you love it, you'll start to evaluate all your friends on the basis of their appreciation of this film.
