I saw it as one of the Monday night film showing in our local Arts centre.<br />I wish I'd know a bit more about it before I settled down to watch it. I spent far to long going 'eh? What? OK, it's an Aronofsky, it's supposed to be weird, but what the heck is this supposed to be about?' before I twigged 'oh, ok, got it, it's a Christ / Bible allegory', and thus started to understand what they thought they were up to. By then I'd passed so much of the film in a mist of confusion, I was bewildered.<br />But having, at last 'got it', I started to appreciate it.. but then they hit me with all the yuch at the end, and was put off. Again.<br />Perhaps I should watch it again, in knowledge of what it is, to appreciate the references?<br />No thanks...<br />I think you have this one mostly nailed here with some lines of yours (may I quote) .. 'really enjoyed parts of the interpretation' and ' few nuggets of brilliance can be mined from this'. I may be a tad more forgiving of it's .. how did you put it ..'narcissistic, self indulgent mess' aspects, but I certainly agree it plunged into several allegory cliche mines.<br /><br />And as for a rider that demands Kardashians on loop.... If ever I'm held in Guantanamo for some reason (re-posting face palm worthy Trump clips on face book?)...forget waterboarding. bring on that bunch. sorry, I will talk...
