This film was quite strange to watch. Everything felt off from the dialog, to the scene transitions, and the clothes. You could say it was intentional but it doesn't feel like it was. It was as if the actors hated one another and had zero chemistry but had agreed to complete the filming. There is just a strange tempo to the whole thing where it feels like listening to a record where the needle keeps jumping randomly and you can never quite get into it.
Like others have said over the years there are other films that portray these concepts better elsewhere. What makes this film unique is it tries to do them all at once. There is a bit of Lynch, attempted scene transitions like you'd see in the 2006 movie The Fall, and the philosophical elements on consciousness as discussed in the other reviews.
I don't really know what else to say other than this movie feels like a big miss. It still made me think about the elements portrayed in the film and it made me want to go back and revisit similar films from the 90s and early 2000s.
