This is an outstanding review; the conversation you posted is excellent. At last, I still didn't care much for this film; it isn't necessarily the rebellious, loose, freelance style (this is coming from a guy who loved Fellini's virtually plotless and screenplayless "Roma" and "Casanova") but how it felt a bit manufactured in its innovation and too concerned with the sum of its (we need to have " 'x' scene," then " 'y' scene;" cue the metaphysical musings!)
