The movie is about Sean’s yearning for escape, about being trapped, and about the price paid in relinquishing grand ambitions. People don’t understand that what they most want in life - is to be found on the other side of the constraints of their idea of themselves.
This movie is an unconscious experience. In the dark spaces of his mind, Sean deals with an obsessive need for pre-knowledge that cuts him off from intimacy and therefore any hope of true love. To be able to return to his regular life, his narcissistic side turns against the object of his sexual desire, and it ends up destroying his relationship.
It is a huge challenge to express the weight of such an encounter. To experience yourself in two universes at the same time is a phenomenon that should have the same impact on a human being as a black hole does on a galaxy.
If this film has only one theme, it is a powerful one: The constant dying of one’s idea of one’s self such that you can be born anew. Death is inextricably connected to aliveness.
