By the time a parade of elephants marches past a cafe window without comment, I was head over heels in love. So much so that I immediately forgave the way the movie falls off track toward the end, particularly when it picks up the seemingly unconnected story about an insomniac judge who’s losing his own grasp of reality.

The gorgeous new wave-inspired black and white & the slowblow soundtrack complement the hilarious (subtitled) dialogue and the absurd situations that the endearing, attractive cast get themselves into.

gets a little confusing in the second half when it suddenly switches to following a new character without any explanation, but overall i enjoyed it.
