ask me what time it be . very very very strange and very entertaining bit of european cinema from wacko jaco van dormael and a former circus clown turn director . this film about fate and love and and childhood fantasy go awry be very hard to describe . imagine a kid film direct by lars von trier and add a dash of amelie and a scent of donnie darko and a sprinkle of lynchian strangeness and and a good heaping of terry gilliam inspire wackiness and place in a blender and then travel back in time ( a this movie come long before and probably inspire amelie and donnie darko ) and voilà and you will have toto . sometimes heartbreaking and sometimes funny ( everybody seem to love those dance tulip ) and sometimes weird and always captivate and this be a film for people who enjoy non linear and creative story telling . also and that much talk about float plastic bag stuff from american beauty be take straight from this film unforgettable final scene . dormael seem to have so much good stuff go on in this film and it ashame he only make one film since this and a any film buff who watch it will no doubt imagine a few more great film be pull out of dormael magician hat .
