Oscillating throughout between thinking “This guy’s a friggin’ genius” and “I’m so done with this,” as its episodic nature might anticipate, this film is a mixed bag. It’s certainly an earnest work of art, but not for everyone. I have to report that there are great moments - funny ones, touching ones, beautifully bizarre ones. Other times I’m just like 🤨 ok bro. And ultimately I’m not sure what the intended gestalt is supposed to be apart from some intellectual understanding about Carax’s thesis. Write an essay then.
