“This was never destined to be a box office hit and is the very definition of a passion project,” says senior Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “That said, the film could enjoy long term interest from movie aficionados.”

In other words, some poor film students might be forced to analyze the shit out of this movie some decades into the future?

Also, "could". Yeah well. I could also win millions in tonight's lottery draw. Highly unlikely, but well, I could.

The thing with creating is that, when you do it long enough, you get bored by the rules/format. So you will try to break them in certain ways.

That is something you can just appreciate when you are bored by the rules yourself. It becomes a film for yourself and other filmmakers not necessarily for the average filmviewer.

Maybe this is a movie like that?
