Admittedly I have no idea what happened in this film, or if anything actually happened or if it was just the lead character's fantasy. The film opens with a woman seemingly explaining all the events we are about to see. This is probably the only film I've seen that has done that aside maybe from silent films. The initial narration didn't make anything particularly clear to me. That's fine. I don't demand discernable plot from movies. I love films that recreate a dream state. For me however this film is tiresome. It is focused on Rico a young man obsessed with French New Wave who lives in NYC and pretends it is Paris. I've watched little French New Wave and I'm not sure if this film pays homage to it or is a satire. Either way, the film seems intentionally pretentious and to me very annoying.
But I'm glad I sat through it. It's only a little over an hour long and I appreciate anyone making a film with a limited budget. I'm not blaming the filmmaker for me not getting it.
