"Burning" is an incredible, subversive act of filmmaking

I just got out of a screening of "Burning" (based on the short story "Barn Burning" by Haruki Murakami) and I am absolutely floored. I have only read a few of Murakami's novels (i havent read barn burning) but the way they capture the dream-like quality of his dialogue is absolutely on point. Everything about it is guided by the philosophy of audience interpretation and saying as little as possible to get across as much as possible. Huge, huge pieces of information are given to the audience without directly saying it. The way it guides you through its plot points is really, really surreal. Has anyone else seen it yet? If you get the chance I would highly recommend it.
