The narrative is messy (evaluation)— surrealism, time travel, stream of consciousness (Beethoven and Long John Silver just show up) (description)-
An odd heavy use of rear projection—I like the changing traffic light shots but overall it’s a weakness- ugly–
rear-projection– odd in 2012- this one is gorgeous though, another one with all the lights green equally beautiful
Couldn’t find a screen grab unfortunately but the film’s greatest shot is a scene at the barber shop with the faces in profile at different depths—its Welles- wow
Bottled ships in the foreground shot
this is Ozu here with the frame in the foreground– superb work
