Let's get the matter of influences out of the way immediately.
Jean Luc Alphaville
who is apparently still alive. So never mind any sort of sequential plot logic served on silver. This is cinematic street fighting, an arid melee that drags a dazed Eisenstein out to the alley for a thrashing. Yes brilliant. Camera work, sound track, acting, all brilliant. Film as anti-reality which does not mean fantasy or schizophrenia. It means the destruction of time. If you hold onto time as if it were a life preserver in shark waters, this film will drown you. So don't go for meaning, go for imprint. If the viewer senses themself as a collection of pixels being rearranged, that is a start. If you saw "Sin City" twice with "Memento" sandwiched between, that is a start.
I won't ever see this film again. Simply no need.
