the lower the expectation, the better, 2 June 1999
Author: denial-2 from Los Angeles

Although the images were very beautiful and creative, they didn't link together in any cogent manner, sometimes even taking away from the movie. The editing is very poor, making the movie seem ten times slower than it was. The themes were an attempt at universality, but the poor direction and lack of dialogue just made it alienating. I was very disappointed because the trailer made this movie look intelligent, lush, and fertile, which it isn't at all.
