Description: This movie centers around Nic (Julian Sands), and while it is not linear, we follow Nic through different moments in his life while the theme unfolds in an enchantingly unique way. An artistic masterpiece. Symbolic, breathtaking, beautiful, visceral. One of my favorite films of all time. Poetry in motion.
I caution away from reading the IMDB or descriptions of it anywhere, I feel I’ve already said too much and they say even more. Watch this movie.
Review: Pretty hard to understand film, as I thought. I doubt that I understood his basic idea. The story about the life of the protagonist Nick begins with his childhood , youth and further described his mature years . His actions often really inexplicable. Whether he always something missing , then he can not calm down and enjoy family life. Nick’s always somewhere to pull. His strange trip with strange people in the desert. Blue baby , men in blue robes , retribution for the murder …
Description of the life of the protagonist and then interrupted fragments of black Adam and Eve redhead who suddenly appear out of the lake and settle in paradise with hut and an old rusty machine. After their ” fall ” should be retribution . Out of nowhere , a paradise filled with police officers who pursued the unfortunate couple. This story ends with the fact that Adam and Eve , somehow hiding behind clothes, crammed into the gate and can not find salvation.
How is everything connected with the life of Nick , again , is unclear. Though perhaps there is a parallel between the payback for the murder of a child and fall. Meaning of the title of this series : the sinfulness of your life , the worse the punishment will be . Chaotic change of personnel , illogical , confusing and makes one want to go forward or turn off the TV . Or philosophy of film is completely absent or so thin that I could not feel it. Difficult to assess such a film. It can be perceived either as a masterpiece, or as complete nonsense . I’m leaning toward the latter .
