it's totally a mystery in that one doesn't know what the fuck is going on and one never will. which is sort of the point. definitely not a "drama"-- there is no formal conflict + climax + resolution which are usually required by the genre.
it is indeed aesthetically a beautiful film but i see no point in watching it for the 8 or so hours that it feels like it lasts. great for clipping/music video though.
hey, there's a movie for your next dj gig. why didn't we think of this before.
