“You only get to watch this for the first time once, so choose your state of mind carefully.nIt is a film about movies and dreams and reality, and what sort of life it is best to find when you leave the cinema and return to whatever you left to enter.nIt is spectacular, and brutal, and enigmatic and disturbing.nIt is beautiful and absorbing.nIt is about one of my favourite characters ever to grace the screen.nI donu0026#39;t see it often, in case itu0026#39;s not as good as I like to remember it.nThat is my secret, that I lock away in my safe in the basement.nThat somewhere there is a perfect world for us all.nFor some, perhaps it is in the cinema watching this.”
