"Just for its bold audacity. Its exquisite painterly quality. Its kind of expressionism, its style, and its kind of audacity to take on great philosophical themes in cinema."

I actually enjoyed it a lot more than the first book, just because I found it a lot easier to follow. It still has the deeper philosophical elements though.
