As I believe this may define the 'sledgehammer' approach to cinema, (well, that and maybe 'Tetsuo' as well). A brilliant film on many accounts, but not one I feel compelled to view again. I personally did prefer the more obtuse & abstract edge of 'Pi'.

As far as 'Dancer..." and "Moulin Rouge" are concerned, I actually quite liked them both. Considered I was practically dragged to "Moulin Rouge" and walked out with a nice warm glow sitting in the back of my head, this is saying something. The evocative yet bleak ambience of "Dancer..." is certainly miles removed from the hyper-kinetic visuals of "Moulin Rouge', but there is a common thread between the two.
