Babylon 2022

A sprawling mess with evocative scenes and so many callbacks and references to stars and movie history it boggles the mind. Overlong and tries to be too many genres at once but it is visually rich and sonically explosive. Its ambition was set too high, but it was certainly a ride, like in that ambulance. At times Keystone Cops, and at others melodrama. Sometimes looked too see how much time was left to go, which is never a good sign. Not unhappy I watched it, but one of those that needs no revisiting. Other films have touched on this theme far better and with less of the sledgehammer.
