Title: An Attempt to Make the Simple, Complex
Review: As a fan of highly stylized and unique films, I was looking forward to seeing Punch-Drunk Love. I must admit I was extremely disappointed. After watching it again - and watching all the "extras" on the DVD, I have concluded the film makers KNEW they had a very basic and boring story, and the only way to make it more interesting was to thow in other things like the strange artwork and unexplained elements in the film like the piano.Adding all of these "artsy" elements might make people think the film was much more than it was - a very basic story. Unfortunately - it doesn't work.To its benefit, the film is very interesting visually, and the music works well throughout.
