The little flashes and loud music were kind of reminiscent of when you’re really deep into a topic or idea that just consumes all your senses. As for the time skips, since I wasn’t familiar with the history I was right the way confused until maybe the second hour.

Admittedly I could only get through the whole thing in three sittings, so some of the momentum of the film might have been lost on me :(

I couldn’t get that far. I made it some 25 minutes before I turned it off. A barrage of pointless scenes was so boring to me.
