If you see the directors work as a trilogy (first of them being released 2002) and this being the last part of that very loosely based trilogy, then I don't think there is much arguing, that he seems to have saved the best for last. The story seems more coherent, though the trademarks are still there. By that I don't mean the beautiful women, but the talking about everything. Trying to understand feelings or the world in general I suppose.
Not that you'll get answers that are satisfying (no pun intended, other scenes in this might be very satisfying), but the movie tries to get into the head of our main actress. The talk about freedom and boredom/routine may challenge you to think about a few things. Maybe it won't, but that is the clear intention of the director. The supernatural element is kept low this time around, but you'll get a fair share of that too. An (erotic) adventure you may want to take
