this is a challenging one. its kind of hard to nail down, the film is at times a story of female empowerment, but the next minute it seems misogynistic. i'm not entirely sure which the director intended, so i'm just going to assume that he meant it to be the former, not the latter. the story follows a young woman as she is checked in to a mental ward. she and some of the other inmates formulate a plan to get out, at each step along the way everything becomes a fantasy and the task must be accomplished in a different dream world- a samurai battle, world war one, a dragon attack, etc. though the storyline has too many questionable elements for some, the visuals of the film make it worth seeing. even if you don't like it, you have to admit that it is a gorgeous film.
