This is the kind of film I usually like and I went into it with reasonably high expectations. Boy, was I disappointed. I've read many of the other reviews posted here before I wrote this. The spare or minimalist quality that others mentioned is true, and I didn't mind it. But there's got to be some kind of narrative thread or tension to go with it. I didn't find one here. In fact, the running time (just under 90 mins) could easily have been 30 mins or 300 mins; it wouldn't have mattered. There was no plot, per se, and that's what's wrong with this film. It does have a vaguely hypnotic quality which is why a 5 hr running time wouldn't have changed my reaction much.
One reviewer called it a cross between a brilliant masterpiece and an idiotic mess. The first is certainly far from true. I'd change the latter to "self-indulgent" or maybe "stoned" mess.
I'd love to get on board with this one, folks, but I simply can't. The three stars I awarded it are for the skin. I'm serious about this. This IS a time travel movie. It will take YOU back to the '70s and I found it delightful to see those gorgeous young women parading around, almost constantly, in the panties. Gratuitous, yes, but no complaints here.
