Man, I have no idea what to say about this. This is one of the strangest movies that the Coen brothers have made. There are some very enjoyable sequences, and most of the material with John Goodman is wonderful. But it’s a real mystery, and it’s so inscrutable that I don’t think anyone can figure it out.
It’s fascinating, and the direction is beautiful. The photography is fantastic. But the story is hard to tell if it qualifies as a story. Maybe… an extended surrealist collection of metaphors?
The ending stuff with the flaming hallway is remarkable, especially amazing since they used real flames.
