The film represents the artistic testament of a genius. Like all the works of great artists, like Shakespeare, Dante, there is no linearity, no simplicity, but the will and the ability to render a powerful and articulate tale about life, culture, society, the human condition, about what was the past, what is the present and what could be our future. Unfettered and with a vitality and enthusiasm that we thought was lost in contemporary cinema. Also visually stunning at times.
A work of art, which must be judged as such. With all the facets and contradictions it presents.
