What was up with this movie? Can someone explain the music choices? The camera work? The absolute refusal to give us a character arc until, debatably, the last 5 minutes of a 2.5-hour film? All of the excitement I felt in the directorial choices of this thing crumbled over that runtime as I realized that none of this was going to pay off. A memorable movie, to be sure, full of top notch filmmaking and fresh choices, but it was all in service of...what exactly? Unless I find some enlightenment eventually, I would only ever put this on again to hate-watch it.
