I loved the motif of the origami flower which had the precision of Western mathematics and the beauty of Easter mysticism. Very like the kind of thing you see Buddha sitting in before he rises to a new dimension.
Anyone interested in reading some freaky stuff on higher-dimensional mathematics could do no better than picking up a copy of Rudy Rucker's The Fourth Dimension. When you get your head round the fact that left and right handedness is purely subjective and visualising hypercubes you'll enjoy this film on a whole new level.
Happy exploring.
It's not so complex and intricate as something like 'Mullholland Drive', but it has a taste of that.
Ewan Mcgregor fans will love it, as it has the thought provoking style of much of his work, and great directing by his uncle Denis Lawson.
Definitely worth watching, even though at 30 minutes it does feel unfinished, unexpanded, almost like a taster for a bigger project, almost like a vehicle to attract funding in order to make a full feature.
This begins to esculate with the discovery of his Grandfathers old diaries. These are full of unusual tales and resolutions, which Ewan McGregor is asked to edit for his late Grandfather from beyond the grave.
Before long McGregor gets so wrapped up in the diaries that he begins to ignore and resent his girlfriend.
Half-way in to the story, McGregor reads of how his Grandfather created a devise which can send a human being into another dimension or something similar (either i missed something or its left for you decide).
It's impossible to say anymore without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it.
I didn't go to any special effort to watch this film, but i am very glad that (by chance) i did.
It was shot in a unique style and grabbed my attention right till the end.
I often judge how good a film is by how much i think or talk about it afterwards, with this in mind i must of really enjoyed it!
Really worth a viewing if you get the chance, just to have a chat about in the pub, if nothing else...
