Cate Blanchett plays various characters. Through narrations and monologues, they proclaim manifestos declaring a call to arms for artists questioning their roles and society in general.
There is no denying Blanchett's acting skills. She embodies this diverse set of characters. She is the voice of this movie. Few others even have lines. This is experimental and oddly monotone despite the vastly different roles for Blanchett. The manifestos all have that lengthy run-on sentence structure with big, complicated words. They are reminiscent of the countless manifestos from revolutionaries and madmen. The visuals are beautiful and artistically rendered. It all adds up to a single note played at a loud beautifully pronounced volume. At the end of the day, what exactly is this movie saying? It's a lot of buzz words cobbled together to say everything and nothing. It's a beautiful art piece with a profound actor skillfully performing. It's hypnotic. In a way, it is what it says it is. It is dissecting art leaving it collapsed in a pile of rubble. This belongs in a museum but it has no place in the neighborhood multiplex. It's a fascinating piece of experimental art. I'm not sure if it's actually saying anything.
