Very good.
Where I often have trouble with films that lack a clear story, this one really captivates me beyond expectations. The subtlety with which detail after detail is shown, but does not really reveal anything. Images that replace the story in their power, dialogues that say something not through content but through form. A soundtrack that tells more than images and dialogue combined - despite the fact that the soundtrack is instrumental as a whole. Astonishing actually that the ordinary style-over-substance fanboys seem to give up here. Can someone really explain that to me.
The casting is on the same genius level. Isaach De Bankolé who has just the right mysterious look. Gael García Bernal as an ordinary Spanish/Mexican fringe figure, and therefore unrecognizable. Paz de la Huerta in the title role as 'nude' - you can hardly imagine more subtle humor. Bill Murray who once again gets to do a very nice cameo - what a hero he really is.
But the best thing is the beauty of the image. There is also the only criticism - there are some sloppy cut scenes at the end. And the close-up on Isaach De Bankolé's hands is too much. But those are details.

The best movies are indistinguishable from a dream you may have had.
Sometimes reflections tell me more than the things they reflect.
Boris, Sunn O))) and Earth.
And yet the film dragged on.
