the idea itself carries the film even from the intriguing beginning.
that being said, it kinda has a cheap vibe to it and it is by no means realistic and perfect but i think these flaws added some character to the film and its experience.
very cool gothic visuals. very romantic. (and imho) very metaphorical.
*oh, and it obviously has legendary soundtracks that were made especially for this movie (the cure, nin especially) that makes this film even cooler
