Every frame in this film is composed as a moving painting and all are striking: the use of colour and framing is particularly incredible. I just wish I knew what was going on - this is as pretentious as you'd expect a poetic, European art film from the 60s to be so be forewarned. If you're in the right mood it is radiant, but if not it will grate as ostentatious tedium.
Completely what you'd expect if the director of Hangover watched some Scorsese flicks. Taking the skin of Taxi Driver and King of Comedy, shoving them through the emptiness and inertia of the MCU and adding a hefty dose of individualistic nihilism.
The truth is we all live in Pottersville and men like George Bailey often end up at the bottom of rivers with no Clarence to save them.
