I heart Huckabies

How am I not myself?

Fundamental questions related to your existence would be answered by the existential detectives who are determined to do anything to find out.

Albert, an environmentalist fighting against the corporate-world, decides to use their service to resolve the meaning of the coincidences occurred in his life. Another client, Tommy the firefighter, was introduced while being dumped by his wife bacause she was sick of "nothingness or something-ness". They become friends to understand the meaning of life together.

The style of the movie fed by absurdity. In contrast to Rushmore or Tennenbaums, it starts with scene one (so no warming up for audience) as Albert reads a poem about how he envies the still nature of the rock that he sits on.

Movie covers a good amount of philosophical material -if you listen to it; -otherwise: it doesn’t really matter as it didn’t most of characters in the movie.

I really enjoyed this movie and if you like absurd comedies, I’d highly recommend it.
