Mind-bending, surreal, deliciously funny, packed with evocative visuals and a killer soundtrack. The definitive sci-fi puzzle for cynical early Millennials that just keeps getting better with each viewing.
I first watched this movie in my early teens and couldn't get my head around it. I just re-watched it and it was much more enjoyable this time around. I can definitely see why this is considered a "cult classic", and rightfully so. There are too many positives to this movie to list, however, it's certainly not flawless and I would even go so far as to say that it's somewhat overrated. Nevertheless, a very good watch.
Great film. It became known as an 'instant cult classic' for a reason. Surreal and cerebral. A must watch!
Good film
Always a good watch love this film
