Wow! What an example of well executed polyphony. Like different melodies coming together in innumerable ways, the stories of these four people harmonize and clash, cross and meet and merge and separate again.

How could he see, beforehand, which notes from one story would resonate with notes from another, and which images could render those resonances? Did he just shoot the f*** out of it? Basically, I am doubting whether I would ever be able to make a movie that did that, even after seeing this film and knowing it can be done." Exactly.
