It has been 20 years since I watched this movie. It contains classic
warnings against living only logically and rationally -- but perhaps
not too much more of a critique than Star Trek -- and all of the
cliches that one now associates with "European Art Cinema" of the
1960s: portentous dialog that is often mostly just pretentious, edgy
editing, etc. To top it off, it is almost the Love Conquers All
version of Brazil -- which is an ironic criticism of such an
outsider's film.
