The storyline insofar as there is one, is of Sean Penn's character's recollections of his eventually borderline-delinquent childhood in a wooden house in 1950's middle America. Brad Pitt plays the aggressive, dictatorial and rather unliked father.
This fractured, curious film is remarkably experimental for an old master. Some might make much of its jurassic, cosmological, theological and operatic elements, but the one constant is how good it looks from start to finish.
It's not happy or light viewing, but scores highly for its 'tone poem' photography and atmospherics.
