Just saw it. What I want to know is this: What the fuck was going on?
I can understand that the two characters are supposed to gradually turn into each other. But the narrative is just confusing. It seems to progress in a linear fashion, but... I don't know. I just didn't process it right, I'm sure.
What I REALLY want to know is what the deal is with the kid at the beginning and end. No... fucking... clue. The shots of the film are there to draw attention to the film as a construction, I'm pretty sure, and the hand with the nail to maybe brace us for an assault of our senses, or something like that. But the kid I have no clue about.
Grrr. My brain hurts.
