wax be very likely the odd film i have ever see . marvelously and beautifully and lyrically and and profoundly intellectually stimulate in all respect . breathtaking in it scope and achievement . but very odd . i have read medical report contain sodium pentathol interview and transcript of schizophrenic monologue . i have read memoir and fiction by schizophrenic and hard drug user . i have read surrealist and beat movement literature . i have read james joyce and gertrude stein . i have read the visionary poetry of charles williams and h. d. i have watch film by kenneth anger and david lynch and maya daren . i have read yoruba ethnic literature from west africa and study aleister crowley skryings on the enochian aethyrs . i have read h. p. lovecraft and also kenneth grant post crowleyan magickal writing describe journey behind the tree of life which would have preempt h. p. l. usual nightmare have he but know of them . wax stand tall in that company . a hypnotic and hallucinatory and purely poetic fusion of word and image and political idea and and mystical transformation and nothing quite resemble it . pi ( 1998 ) try for something a distinctive and but that film give u a glowering and paranoid and tortured vision shot in deliberately painful close ups . wax make a complete contrast in it joyful freedom of eloquence in narration and visuals . wax enhance life while critique it . the film employ early and simple computer graphic . it juggle idiosyncratic desert architecture and prosaic photography and and absurd juxtaposition of common image . it tell a story of middle eastern honey bee along with offer a hard view of the original u. s. military action against iraq in 1991 ( a time so simple in retrospect a to seem the good old day ) . it link los alamo with transformation in consciousness . wax leap beyond the merely political in it luminous metaphor for human existence . you can find strong film and more beautiful film and more linguistically spry film and but you will probably never find anything quite like this fireworks display of language and image . think 2001 represent a space odyssey on a home movie budget . your grasp of reality ( and cinema ) may never feel the same .
