Given that I'm not really a fan of the heavy use of electronica, and I'm a pretty straightforward boring het sort, this probably wasn't directed toward me as a demographic. And yet I found it very entrancing. The music, while not to my taste, was a good listen, and the imagery -- basically vignette after vignette, basically music videos interpolated into a plot about, well, 1984ish conformity -- was, as I said, entrancing. It shouldn't have worked for me, but it absolutely did and while I have nothing particularly insightful or profound to offer here, I felt I just do it the justice of rating it here. So, 8. Would, and probably will, watch it again at some point.
