Many professional critics have trashed this movie as being overly complicated and sickeningly swirling. I say they can't see the forest for the trees. I can imagine literary critics complaining about Finnegan's Wake saying, "All those made up words were annoying". Rampo is a rich sumptuous film which is powerful precisely because it is non-linear. Like a dream from which one is not quite sure one has awakened this film captures the fluid multiplicity of reality. I say leave the dumbed down linear narratives to the suburban megaplex viewers. This is film making not only on a higher level. This film has created a level which brings up viewers to new heights and which beckons future film makers.
