For a film with little dialogue, it's very witty


There are lots of lines from this film that I love and have written down. One of my favourites is the exchange between the Lone Man and the American.

American: How the f/ck did you get in here?
Lone Man: I used my imagination
American: You people don't understand a f/cking thing about how the world works
Lone Man: I understand, understand subjectively
American: That's f/cking nonsense

Not entirely verbatim but my favourite lines in their brief exchange. The line about using his imagination really makes me lol and yet like many of the lines it has resonance beyond surface meaning (and the amusement it causes me).

So many fantastic moments peppered throughout the film. It's brilliant and I hope in time it gathers the respect and rating it richly deserves.
The universe has no centre and no edges. Reality is arbitrary.
