What a wild film!
The synopsis drew me to the cinema, and the opening scene set the comedy in motion. Some of the audience gasped, some chuckled, but it made everyone pay attention.
The story progressed through the ages, with some wild ideas, and the final denouement was well hidden.
Cinematography was polished and effective, with surreal and 'period drama' scenes intermingled to keep you awake and alert.
As I came away, I was trying to make sense of the overall story and the macro level messages embedded in there, but to be honest, a second viewing would be more helpful, as there is so much happening that just needs to be observed before you can engage your brain to analyse the big picture.
I liked the sci fi notion that someone can be reincarnated and still in pursuit of a lover from a previous life. Asimov would have recognised the idea 'across space and time'
The sets and scenes were just, well, good fun. But the end was satisfyingly modern in reaffirming girl power and challenging the idea that males rule.
