I was intrigued because the cel quality looked similar to something that Ralph Bakshi would make, and that style of animation both frightens and excites me (there is something about that grainy cel look that is almost nightmarish). Then I heard it was an amazing story with amazing visuals and that it's foriegn and amazing. Did I mention it was amazing?

Instead, you get an incoherent film that drags on and on and on. And on.

I think there was some serious Francophilia going on.

The trailer was excellent, because the quick cuts and theme song made it seem dynamic. The film itself is sloooooooow with no real dialog. Not that the movie really needed dialog, but they don't do anything particularly inventive with the visuals.
