Not to sound like everyone else, but I did not really like this movie either. There was no plot, or maybe too many so that a clear one could form. A lack of sound, yet this did make one focus on the visuals. If this is a metaphor for a an artist existing within his or her work, I don't want to be an artist. Maybe Mike is right that a movie is not about having a coherent plot, but about art's representation of reality. Either way, a movie has the obligation to encapsle the attention of the viewer, and if the only way it can do that is by eye catching images, it is not successful. Sorry.
