Curtis Williams’s review:
I really loved this film and I'd say it's right up Curtis alley. What's Curtis alley you ask... It's an alley where you take psychedelic drugs and try and contemplate the meaning of life... I'm kidding.
This film is out there and very loose in terms of plot... basically it's open for interpretation. It's reminds me a lot of some of my favorite films, a nice mash-up maybe would be Aquirre: Wrath of God, meets Dead Man, meets The New World, meets Apocalypse Now. The cinematography is stunning and the score is exceptional with a lot of creepy build ups. Nicholas Winding Refn delivers another pleaser in my opinion, definitely check this out (if you're into non-traditional stuff), it's on Netflix instant.
I glad you liked it. Good call on the Dead Man reference. Dead man is one of my all time favorite films.I love the music also. Nicholas Winding Refn is the man!!
Thanks for the recommendation man, definitely a pleaser!!!
