Lita Lepie

I have ideas about what this film is about, yet there is such vastness of theme - brilliantly done by cast, crew, creators - that I find it absolutely haunting and amazingly inexplicable. Yes, of course, there are some parallels to the utterly crude and cruel Scientology. But the movie clearly transcends that. The film grapples with what exactly is the full nature of humanity. And, as such, can't possibly be categorized as the questions it poses have no explicit answers. And, at its base, it acts and depicts such a myriad of questions that it poses the most grounded meditation of human existence I have ever encountered. It is not a good film; it is a great film, a masterpiece. And an utterly mesmerizing one at that. Lita Lepie is the author of the novel "Black Lotus".
