The film is very open to personal interpretations though. Part of the enjoyment for me was constantly being provoked into asking questions of each scene and what it could represent. I was put off by the first 20mins or so too, seems that not a lot of the imagery was of use to the plot, compared to the more subtle effects used later on.
