A slice of "Brazil", a slice of "Fahrenheit 451", a slice of "Monty Python" sandwiched by Hollywood. It begins with those rhythmic rude credits that arrogantly rip through establishing shots like flash cards. A very annoying, and too common, artistically insensitive technique that basically amounts to career promotion commercials. A real turn off for me. But the film recovers, ultimately redeeming itself searching for truth in corrupt, false society. It comments on the failings of the 60's and almost provides a continuum to present societal illusion. ...Until the last cheap cliché Hollywood ending where the noble pursuit of the film is betrayed. Mostly good stuff though, despite commercial influence, and well worth seeing.
