I really liked some parts of Insignificance, but there's a forced art house aspect to it that just seems unnecessary and weakens the movie.
I found Nicolas Roeg's "Insignificance" to be extremely interesting. It's an experience that I will need more time to pin down, but it's a philosophical, hallucinatory and intriguing collusion of ideas, acting, writing and directing. The films main thesis is that if everything is... read more

I found this movie to be very interesting.

Fascinating, flawed Roeg film.
It is a noble idea for a film to satire some of the best known American pop culture heroes of the 1950s. Full Review
