This film is in my mind his most ‘out there’ one of all and while it’s very confusing and more than one viewing is needed to fully appreciate the film, on the whole I found I enjoyed the experience even though my backside didn’t. Plot wise or what there is of one follows actress Nikki (Laura Dern) who lands the part of Susan Blue in a film entitled ‘High in Blue ...
