The film also didn’t make economical successes. We decided to look at the consistency of his style (the mis-moment) hypothesising although the fact that both films explore the same theme of mis-moment,  and why my blueberry nights didn’t succeed, this could have because of his lack of connection to the society, which is another aspect to research on.
