So nice to see a thought provoking movie, that could easily have been made on a negligible budget (and probably was!), while still commanding the attention of the viewer better than most big budged productions.
This is because the movie was so strongly concept driven, that things you normally look for in movies (like strong acting) were of secondary importance. The religious discussion was fascinating too - in that it brought out just a few of the things about ancient mythology, and how it relates to Biblical texts, that the vast majority of people are blissfully unaware of. As such, the movie can be a bit disturbing to any Christian fundamentalist, but then again, some ideologies need a little shaking up.
I very much recommend this for anyone with a taste for philosophical speculation, or just plain old rich imagination in need of nourishment.
