For anyone who hasn't already seen it, this is a strange, beautiful and haunting movie. I don't pretend to understand it, although I suspect it's arty in all the wrong ways; visually, however, it is a feast of Old Masterisms, every frame is composed as if it were an undiscovered Vermeer. I could watch it with the sound turned down; if you have some quiet time to spare, this will enhance it, if you are a paintings ignoramus, like what I am, it sheds a little of the light, lost now, to years of rock and roll and other rubbish.
