Sorry...but...despite a great script and a great hypothesis which we believe, both my wife and I found ourselves closing our eyes while watching this. It is sensory overload.
On the auditory channel there is music and the author's voice. Much of the music is rock. Doesn't suit the documentary tone of the announcer's speaking.
On the visual channel, there is a constant fading in and out of multiple scenes at the same time. It's hard to explain, but the entire documentary is at least two scenes, sometimes three at once. You know when a scene fades and another comes into view and for about a second you can see both scenes? Well the whole movie stays in this multiple scene overlay mode. Very irritating, as we wanted to enjoy the image of the art, for example, but his driving in a car, or walking in ruins was overlaid. He sabotaged his own documentary. He should re-edit and re-release the whole thing.
