Saw a video the other day (not in English unfortunately) with an analysis of how it actually makes sense from a themes and style perspective (e.g. the Wachowski's work on the Sense 8 taught them how to go to a more "impro" kind of directing compared to planning everything with very established plans in their earlier works)

Curious to see what the opinion of the people here is

makes me believe that Warner Bros. was going to make M4 regardless of what the Wachowski sisters wanted, or thought of the script. So one of them signed on to salvage what they could.

My understanding is that this is exactly what happened. Also the wachowski’s parents died, so Lana felt some nostalgia wasn’t the worst thing to have in her life at that point.

But yea, this is what happened, and the film is dripping in a weird meta fever dream of a tantrum about it. It’s the charm others have mentioned. When I saw it in the cinema, I was immediately astounded that they were going there. Probably as surprised as I’ve ever been in a cinema.

Thanks for pointing this out!
