There is a dazzling display of imagination in virtually every frame of this weird fantasy adventure, but what it really needs is someone to draw it all together. The last of the opening credits notes that it was “designed and directed by” by Dave McKean, and it doesn’t take more than about five minutes to realize that significantly more time and thought was put into the design than the direction. There is not a moment that disappoints the eye, but as a whole it never grabs a hold of your heart or really even your attention. It’s a like a 100-minute video installation piece that leaves you thinking about graphic intertextuality, the limits of surrealism, the nature of the uncanny, and little else. (Blu-Ray)
