This was a bit too abstract for my liking. I don't mind art films, but I prefer them a little more concrete. For example, I liked Tideland even though it was thoroughly grotesque in a classical sense. This move had interesting cinematography and mood and tone, but it went very abstract towards the end and I couldn't really follow it. I thought it was a metaphor for socialism, or immigrants, but the metaphor didn't hold. It was too chaotic in meaning. I do like some of his other movies like The Fountain and Black Swan however, but not this one.
