The big question in THE 4TH DIMENSION is – what's up with Jack? Is the eccentric, OC-disordered young man a genius headed toward solving the mystery of time – or
– is his head simply rattling with loose screws? The answer comes in
the final, frenzied 10 minutes when, a la WIZARD OF OZ, the film morphs
from black and white to color (though the landscape Jack enters is no
place for Dorothy and Toto!). You'll need stamina to stick through the
often confusing narrative with its repeated flashbacks to Jack's
traumatic childhood, but if you're up for German Expressionist-like
cinematography and intense acting, it's worth your time.
