Hey Orson, I tried to go see that Mud movie of yours, but I think the theatre was full on account of the pride parade finishing nearby that evening. Anyway it was a bit of a bummer...

yes, i've seen it 3 times. it's so wonderfully perverse. it's a european art film that's nominally a thai film, and even less of an "american film," in spite of those who were eager to see another refn/gosling collaboration.

i think the most interesting thing about the film is its commitment to abstraction, which still coheres because of its visual language. all the hallway shots, the significance of the womb, of the stomach. the total emasculation of gosling. the voyeurism that's sort of a function of his emasculation (and all of the watching that goes on in the film (no one will ever film a karaoke scene like that again)). i thought it was very beautiful.

I want to know more of what your take was. But yes I agree with you on a cinmeatic language stand point, but overall I just didn't enjoy it as an experience. BTW, that's why Hitchcock was so great. He was so cerebral, yet entertaining.
