“He will not, can not, settle. His ostensibly finite project is couched in infinitude. He’s safe in the unavoidability of his failure and of that failure’s tragic status. That’s the brutal truth, the veiled source of his adamantine mission. In fact, the entire film(script) can be understood as a commentary on a line from E. M. Cioran: “He who does not believe in the impossibility of truth, or does not rejoice in it, has only one road to salvation, which he will, however, never find.”
