this movie be a journey through the mind of a screenwriter caught in his own paradoxical philosophy . he examine the ever illusive question of who be i and what be i. it a courageous and think provoke enterprise . there be a shipload of beautiful image and dream inspire and escher like paradox reminiscent of the hand draw itself and or rather and erase itself . more and more we follow the writer in his agony over what to say and what to film and we see him phone with his wife who leave for peru and leave him to take care of their baby and a task he perform with less and less attention until he so absorb in his dilemma that he hardly look at the child anymore . his wife come back and make a scene and destroy his note and help him go over the last treshold until he erase him self . intersperse with eye pleasing and i destructing image and the story be mainly philosophical . it about the veil of maya and the world of illusion . the paradox of the movie however and be that it need a lot of talk and think to prove that thinking should stop . during the more than two hour of provocative beauty and rapid philosophise the movie make me long for silence or a short movie . if that be the purpose of the maker and he succeed quite well .
