This was the third time I've seen this. I still consider it a modern masterpiece.
The film is an examination of the creative process. A novelist escapes everyday reality by conjuring a rich imaginary landscape in which he lives while writing the story. It's unclear where the line between real and fiction lies, which is one of the central delights of this film.
Uncommonly beautiful to look at. Every shot could be framed as a still. Even the opening animation sequence stands out in look and tone.
Outstanding music soundtrack. This is an example of cross-cultural fertilization at its very best. A welcome entry into the front rank of great world cinema.
