Yes, you can definitely describe its visual style and approach as art-house like. It's visual style and atmosphere seem appropriate for the movie and the story that it tried to tell. It has a good visual approach to it all, which makes this movie somewhat of a science-fiction period piece, that at times is being set far in the future.
I was quite surprised that this was an American production, since normally these type of quirky and original movies come from Britain, around that time. Yes, it's an unique movie for sure, that obviously isn't just for everybody. I'll admit that I didn't liked the movie much at first but in its last few minutes some of the puzzle pieces fell to its place and I could appreciate the entire movie better for its style and approach. But I just couldn't hate this movie either. Add to that the fact that this movie explains very little about what's going on and you have one confusing movie. It just doesn't really make the movie feel as one whole and makes the whole narrative confusing to follow. Basically you have one main plot-line and then also some small stories in them as well, that get told in flashbacks. It's a very confusing movie, not just because of its strange and unique concept but also due to its very disjointed story-telling. Guess that everything in this movie makes sense to those that have read the entire novel but those who only have seen the movie are being left mostly in the dark. It would had been nice if the focused more on the audience as well that didn't read the book by Ray Bradbury, which this movie got based on. What I simply did not liked about the movie was the fact that it explains far too little. I simply expected a good old fashioned, straight-forward, science-fiction thriller and not a 'talking', art-house like movie with deeper meanings and metaphors to it all. Perhaps I was just expecting too much a different movie.
