Unique. The magnificent way it was made made me feel throughout the film as if I was Jean-Do. I felt when they stitched up his eye, I felt the helplessness of trying to speak but no one can hear you, when the woman was teaching him how to move his tounge I found myself imitating her, there on my cinema seat. Because of this, it's a very touching movie, but has also a lot of humor.
It doesn't pass slowly at all, even though it might seem to, because it's got an esthetic that many of us, morons, are not used to (exclude me ;))
Julian Schnabel prooves he's one of the best contemporary directors. I trully can't belive the Coen brothers stole his Oscar, it's completely ridiculous.
It's innovative, visually beautiful, well acted, emotional, fun, catchy and it achieves artistic cinematic excellence, being able to explore the inner workings of a characters very deeply and believably while blending cinematography, art direction, sound effects and musical score in such harmony.
It's really difficult to define what this film produced in me. I felt it like a journey, a journey to imagination, to another person's body, but being able to feel and think the way this person did. It moved me, it made me laugh, it relaxed me, it scared me, it hurt me, it caressed me, it astonished me.
The best film of 2007.
