In fact, there's a statement there that matters. There's real value in how the story is told even though the story is as close to vacuous white noise as possible.
The contrast is shocking, with this Wachowski business seeming to be mere busy style.
Coursegrained long form would be the cinematic values of that Peter Greenaway film, where the narrative has substance and is cast cinematically. But this is highly cinematic in a fine-grained sense. All the shots with the parents could have been replaced with a dialog card so far as I care. Sure, the story is silly and there are the requisite two lessons for children. I saw this the same night as the latest film by my favorite filmmaker and I must admit that this held its own.
