Well, I saw it, liked tremendously, and saw as 1984-ish vision with
some rather interesting twists.
As for new ideas, it seems to have more then 99% of recent films.
There is all the regular stuff with an individual in a bureaucratic
machine, fantasies of ideal mate, plus insanity as a "happy" escape.

Very seldom do filmmakers come up with a topic that's not been beaten to
death in print.
Or were you talking about technical ideas?
