Honestly pretty spectacular film. Memorable and hits a deep chord
A great and deep philosophical endevour that will keep you fascinated all the way through!
A solid film that tells its story more through visuals than dialog. Can be confusing on first watch. Needs rewatches. Acting is good.
An abstract and artistic story which captures one man's tumultuous journey in finally accepting death.
Deep and trippy experience. Made my existence seem small
A dreamlike meditation on love and loss. It asks patience, but the emotions hit hard if you let it wash over you.
The last ten minutes feel like an esoteric injection.
A bit muddled at times but there's something about this that is just so captivating. Amazing soundtrack too
It's about life and death, complex, very beautiful soundtrack. Think about it....
Blew my mind as a teenager.but now its trying too hard to be profound. Great visuals and music, def worth a watch.
