Best movie ever!

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

If you like existential ramblings with lively music and lyrics and unusual cinematography, you might like this.If you are looking for plot, it might help to scan through or skip the first 35 minutes. Up until that point there is a lot of screen time of Alice driving, or walking, or her eyes or face or other random pictures with existential songs as background. There is very little dialogue and what exists is nonsensical. The worst part is repeated scenes of Alice sitting in a room with a dazed look waiting for instructions and listening to a song. I think this occurs 3 times, with minor variations except toward the end of the third time. Each one is about 3 minutes.Shortly after 36 minutes, some plot begins to develop. It is still somewhat of a nonsensical plot, mostly about brain transfer. There is still a lot of nonsensical and repetitive dialogue. There are scenes that are somewhat repetitive.Nothing in this film bears any relationship to normal life or normal existence as we know it.We probably get the most content from the voice overs at the beginning and end of the film.Allix Mortis as Alice delivers almost every line in monotone with little feeling. I think some of this is intentional. Many of the actors deliver lines as animals or in sing-song voice. The red-headed scientist comes the closest to normal acting.

I am not sure I understand everything in this, but the movie makes you think. It is for people who like surrealism and old type European filmmakers. If you want modern science fiction then this is not a movie for you. If you want people experimenting with form, experimenting with showing emptiness through repetition and through emotionless acting and you like experiencing the emotions of the film rather than having them shown to you then this is great movie. It is very full of great music as well.Reviews that say bad acting are very stupid people who do not understand this kind of film.

I have a rule for myself ... if I start a movie I finish it, no matter how bad it might be. Up until today I've only broken that rule twice. I couldn't bear more than 30 minutes. the photography was good and the music would have been decent if it was played in moderation, but the movie itself was painful. So much so that I created an account to say it. 👎
