Mirror Mask

OMG...you guys really MUST watch this movie!!!
It's prolly one of the most or the most imaginative films I've seen so far.

They had a perfect combination of talents going on there,Neil Gaiman's genius writing, Dave McKean's fantastic surreal photomontages, and the jazz music and the cast are good too.Listen to the dialogue,it's very good,witty,fun,balances the mostly dark visuals,since the darkness might make some people bored after awhile.The way the actors intone the script helped very much,especially the character of Valentine.As for the visuals,it's really very interesting,there's nothing else like it.It's just very sad that the film has a limited release in US and Australia only,maybe because the style was concidered too artsy.But the overall feeling of the movie is very unique,brings out the theme of teenage-parent angst very well,using a halucinating/dream-like environment,sort of like when you are falling asleep and nothing makes sense but at the time the nonsense mirrors your real life.
