Personally, the film is probably one of the most boring one that I have ever watched but still there are some very interesting points.
It is a film with many new elements except the narrative. Lev Manovich tries to show the audience different squares which are presenting various images at the same time. His method makes people think of Mondrian's artwork because of the uses of forms and lines. In this case, the audience is active which differs from traditional film. They have to choose which square to watch and to decide how long should they watch it. On the other hand, the way of story telling is very traditional like playing a radio without intonation. What's more confusing is the audience may not understand all the narrative because of language barrier. So, it seems to be unmatched with what they see.
The film produces a feeling that never stops. I mean whenever I thought it should be the end of it, it came out not. The "ending" music and vibrancy diagram repeated again and again until it really finished. It may reflect the girl's routine e.g. thousands of e-mails that no one reads.
