This is a masterpiece of simplicity and intelligence. A camera with the style of the early 80s shoots beautifully, or at least it looks like one. A story of passionate people looking for love. Computer chess! What a brilliant idea to collect the conspiracy. Especially when you have a new age religious engagement and intense sexual energy restraint drops. Sincerely humorous, this movie hits that point. Especially in today's tech-obsessed universe. Acting is so persuasive and natural that one could easily see it as a documentary, but it's not - its art. Reminds early Cassavetes. I will definitely wait until the next movie for Bujalski. Personally, best at the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival . love this movie.

Pauline: Peter, did you ever stop and ask yourself how many squares are on a chess board?
Bishton: 64. It's an 8 by 8 grid.
Pauline: Well... but don't you see how limited that is?
Bishton: No, it's actually very complex once you start to think about it as a programming problem. Just the number of possible games explodes exponentially with each move, it's close to 10 to the 120th power. And to try and compute all those games might take even longer than humanity would be around to do so.
