I don't know if to recommend the film to others or not. It could be concluded that there are some elements worthy of watching,such as the visual feast created exquisitly and sound music meant for the soul of the film. On the other hand, some may make you feel very confused or even some are a total boredom.
Maybe the intension is not to help you fully comprehend the story but rather to feel it as a channel to the inner world of the characters: the emotions floating around for you to catch.
You may have no idea of why these people have a strong desire to leave this planet without apparent reason, especially the main protagonist who is supposed to be happy and successful with a handsome husband loving her and a lovely daughter; Me neither.
However, the film stirs my heart in a sense: Love means weathering turns and twists, for better or worse. What a cliche!
