i go to this film have no idea what to expect . i actually take a date to it in the theater when it first come out . we both thoroughly enjoy it and it help to have someone to discuss it with after see it . i only recommend see this film if you appreciate non mainstream movie . it not as disjoint a liquid sky or as fanciful a forbidden zone . the original plot be very easy to follow . there a lot of subtle humor . here a quick summary of the plot if you be completely lose represent a big brother type government keep tabs on everyone in society . suddenly a new person appear and there no data on him ( he appear insane ) . he may or may not be the second coming of christ . the over cautious government go into a frenzy to find him and discover his true motif . the ruler be also obsess with immortality . some scene be frantic while others be completely low key . we follow the lead character a he encounter all different kind of people in society . i do not need my consciousness alter to enjoy the film and but i know that some of my friend felt that help . split be also film around santa cruz and san francisco .
