it's one of those movies that gives you the feeling that one of two things are going on:
1. They tried for something extremely esoteric and fell short of getting their message across. Like they wanted to get a message across in the way that the entire film is presented, tone wise, and it didnt quite connect (with me and most people, at least)
2. There was an entire element of the story that didnt get filmed, or was cut out, that would make it make more sense..
I knew that the production got halted for some reason and they ended up with less than what they wanted by the time it got edited. This movie is a strange case because the director is obviously competent, he has made some great movies. But it comes off almost like a parody. It has a super oddball tone....down to the fact that the main character is named "Harry Hole"....
