Pretentious filmmaking at its finest and other issues I had...


I enjoyed watching and learning more about Steven Wilson and his roots but I absolutely hated the way the film was shot. Overly pretentious and incredibly artsy fartsy, the nonsensical imagery took up a huge chunk of the film. We could have totally done without it. Lasse Hoile, if you read this, I don't know what your were trying to achieve or express in this documentary but you're certainly no David Lynch or Alejandro Jodorowsky so get over yourself.

Another thing that really bothered me was when Steven Wilson said that Israeli people don't care much for things like iPods. Israelis absolutely LOVE their technology and gadgetry. iPhones are tremendously prevalent there. I really have no idea why he said that.
