    Reminded me of the flashback scenes in The Godfather Part II, just more boring. It probably didn’t help either that I know of the musical very well. I think a musical film adaptation of Ragtime would be incredible. Also, for me Elizabeth McGovern was awful here - I felt she gave no real characterization of Nesbit. She might as well have been playing her character in Ordinary People, just in period costumes.

    I reeeeally should have been stoned while watching this. And yes, most of the surrealism didn’t connect with me, but also - it was so very boring! Why?? Even with that unhinged Chapter 3 where all of a sudden Daniel Craig is Indiana Jones, it was still dull and slow. I mean, as per usual Luca makes a beautiful looking film, but ugh. At least Drew Starkey looked so pretty.
