    The thing with this movie is that no one should dare to consider it an explanation of existentialist philosophy. If you want to learn philosophy, buy a book. If you don't want to, or hate people that love philosophy, then you should steer away from movies labeled as bloody existentialist comedies.

    Because the genius in here is that it's pastiche comedy ABOUT philosophy, philosophers and the difference between existentialist ideas and the actual reality of the world.

    Of course, it all sounds very weird, but if you like your philosophy funny, then watch it.

    This film and a lot of its fans are intellectual fascism incarnate. "You have to have a cerebellum to understand this"? A keg of absynthe and some non-prescription drugs, more like.

    Nothing film-wise is as irritating as the pompous refusal to make sense. This nonsense boasts a lot of long words and, you guessed it, is ultimately meaningless. Who didn't see that coming? And the introduction of a main character halfway, not to mention the pseudo-forgetting of several others, is just clumsy.

    Almost as pointlessly revered as Donnie Darko, this is a dreg of cult cinema: championed endlessly, even when you calmly explain why it's rotten. "You just don't get it" is a very, very hollow defence.

    Whatever. Happy smoking.
