It is a SF picture but you will find here nothing of what is characteristic of the "genre" as Hollywood producers usually see it. Instead it is somehow a pure science-fiction one but in the same sense as Space Odyssey was. Good story that is being told on several different levels - logical and spiritual at the same time. The story is one of those universal-truth-based, almost kind of those we are fed everyday by every "big directors" in their "milestone pictures" but it is told a nice and not invasive way so it works and do not fall to pompous style. And as I mentioned in the summary however it is a series o visions if you would like to analyse it from logical and mundane point of view it will work too. Which creates an impression than apart of creating those dreamy, artistic and spiritual visions the director and script writer did actually care for constructing the plot and even if they did not told us every aspect of their story the story has been thought through and none of the movie element were thrown into it without a reason. Worth of seeing, definitely, especially for true SF fans.
