Time Out

At one point the narrator berates history for lacking imagination; history, as revealed here, certainly lacks taste, and its imagination could be toned up, but there's no shortage of silly entertainment.

[A] disjointed, incoherent mess.

An important cinematic work which celebrates the human imagination as triumphant.

Impossible to synopsize coherently, it doesn't so much tackle themes as lay them out for scrutiny and musical embellishment.

Puta filme chato. No início parecia bom, mas é muito longo e confuso. Só não dou uma nota menor porque tem boas músicas na trilha sonora.
