It's not like it's really that odd... It's just does not have an ending hollywood movies usually have. Were you confused when you watched matrix too?

The presentation is bizarre. It throws more curve balls than your standard hollywood flick so I did get kinda confused the first time lol. There was also a lot of recurring "themes" that I didn't understand, like the re-appearance of "Benny the dog" which sidelines you the first time you see it because you're trying to think of what the siginificance of it is. Wasn't sure where the dream began the first time either because you only find out much later in the film.
It's a great eccentric love story. Sad but redeeming too (Tom wants to face the world as it is rather than live in a dream forever, even though his true love, Penelope, in real life has been dead for many years).
I may check out the original but I find that foreign movies are usually way overrated.
