Anachronismes: In 1935, Jan asks Paul what the doctor said. Paul replies, "Oh, you know doctors - gobbledygook mostly." The word "gobbledygook" was coined by U.S. Rep. Maury Maverick in 1944.

Mesmerizing & Thought Provoking

Without using all the old cliches, I would recommend this movie to anyone interested in a creative, intriguing, and life enhancing experience. Everything about this movie was delightful. I recommend seeing this movie with someone especially close to you. After the movie my Fiancée and I spent two hours talking and expanding on the films ideas and concepts. This was truly a electrifying experience. I would venture to call this movie one of the best movies of all time. Sure, there are things that I would have liked to see done differently, but that is what makes a movie more enjoyable. The discussions following this film were wonderful.
