Our read · Schizopolis (1996) reads as a neutral, breathless, surreal comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, ambivalent in outlook, with a strong directorial signature. Hand-scored on twelve axes of taste — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, and era — with a derived palette drawn from its dominant cinematography.
