There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

First off, the guy with the lamp needed a bigger part. I really hope there is a sequel.The artistry was magnificent and I will be searching for the soundtrack album. I'm guessing it wasn't John Williams or Jerry Goldsmith, this is way above their league.If you want something that makes perfect sense, flows like a river and has snappy dialogue, this is for you.Now, once the drugs wear off, I just might watch it again. Wait, I don't take drugs....WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?!?^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I just rewatched this classic film. I have to say, I think I get it now. It's all about a boy who seems to think ancient Egyptians were...what was that doctor? No, give me a minute more, please. PLEASE? OK, thank you.So, anyway, he sees how life REALLY is and it's all about drinking milk and wine and exposing your penis and.......dammit doctor, you said I could....WHAT? No, no, I did NOT take my meds today. It's too early. Let me FINISH THIS!Anyway, the woman with lots of tits and penises on her back is the one who......DAMMIT, OK, OK, LEAVE ME ALONE, I'll take my medications and........It's an incredible movie. The acting alone is worth the price of admission. It's on YouTube...FREE!!!!!!Buy the Soundtrack on Polymer Records and Tapes and....is that thorazine you just gave me? Oh............................................
