I can't really get into Triple H. His approach is just so distant and devoid of emotion (or even clear information) that the visuals and I guess historical context carry most of the weight. But it's not enough to keep you interested. I started getting into it after the first half an hour and actually preferred the puppetry and opera scenes (and the great interviews with the actual guy) more than really distant long shots covering actions I can't easily follow done by characters I don't really recognize. After seeing three of his films, I'm not really looking forward to the next one. Not bad... just really... insipid, solemn stuff.

Beautiful visuals but the lack of plot and constant banging of the gong.....ugh.
