The film's very structure suggests a literary experiment... La Flor is an exercise in the pleasures of storytelling.

In the end, as was said in the beginning, if La Flor is endurable it's not because of its genre games, M.C. Escher structure or even the occasional well-tailored anecdote, but because of its star quartet.

You will no doubt bail out at some point - but that's part of the deal. Llinás has done enough to make sure we come back.

Rated: 4/5

Though aspects of La Flor could be called experimental or perverse, it's hardly a dry abstraction.
