reality is a fiction in disguise
you seldom encounter a movie that has a very simple yet interesting story that is well rendered for viewing with a basic fairy tale structure and the finishing of an intellectual-dreamy-fictional reality of visual execution. from the editing, color grading, directing, cinematography, casting, production design, musical scoring and other more major small details that supports the backbone of the film...it is a classic. imagine Dark City, Brazil, tim burton, dark crstal then oliver twist.
