A surreal work in which dreams and reality, real people and animation are intertwined, and the setting of Robin and the characters in the film also adds a sense of emptiness. The film can be divided into 2 parts. In the first half of the live-action segment, the director focuses more on the criticism of the film industry, but at the same time brings out the theme of the film: how to find oneself in this blurred world, And what is the meaning of existence. As a result of the sudden change in the style of the film, Robin entered the virtual world presented in the form of animation. Robin constantly wandered between the dream and the virtual, and at the same time had to go back and forth between the virtual and reality, in order to find himself and also to find own concern

    I have rarely seen such a difficult film... But most of the reason is because the film uses deep words and the dialogue is fast, so the language cannot keep up with it (VO French subtitles) The story and concept are clear, but the logic and details are difficult to understand . Three Satoshis! bright! After reading it, the girls looked at each other and sighed! difficult! Understand! ! ! But it doesn't affect the appreciation if you don't understand. The animation part is very beautiful. You must eat some hallucinogenic drugs to make such a picture.

    It took three days to read it. It is similar to the waltzing style of Bashir. It is full of philosophical thinking and self-deprecating tone, psychedelic and illusory fantasy. I really don't have the heart to study it further today, so please read it again
