WELL? Brilliantly creative. Slightly bonkers. A weird and wacky visual delight mixed with a potpourri of poetry viewed through a kaleidoscope… etc. Absolutely hilarious. Loved it. Kafka meets Gilliam. A wonderful satirical expose of the American Literature community obsession with Paris. Brilliant visuals, performances and animations, but quite frustrating. Quirky! His second worst film I did enjoy it but I didn’t really know what was going on. Witty, engaging and cleverly shot. Good fun! Very interesting. Thought provoking. Monty Python meet surrealism (and MP wins!). Amusing- but what was it about? I wish I knew what to say. What the hell wasthat all about - yours truly confused.com. A glorious madcap visual feast. But, not idea what I was all about. Some “ennuiâ€! Saved by the 3 notes musicians! Rambling, but not in a good way. WA is an acquired taste that I haven’t yet acquired. Passed me by …….. So many good actors but ………. Inexplicable!
