If he was never Kane, then what was he
A man asks towards the end. And what was this?
A riff more than an adaptation, we
Who've read the book will notice. We may miss
The strangling fruit, but who could bring a thing
Like that to cinema? Instead, refract
The story through your prism, Garland, bring
A clarity to what was so abstract.
A tour through Ballard more than Vandermeer,
Perhaps, is what we're given. This is fine!
Tarkovskyan its weirdness, and its fear.
It's left the lighthouse keeper on the vine
And made a film that tells a story more
Through sight and sound (especially its score!)
