I see this as a Fairest Durance, or a love affair involving Sidhe or Marauders.
Editorial:
Revolutionary Girl Utena the series was a fascinating, if repetitive, set of highly stylized vignettes. It involved a series of staged and structured confrontations at a boarding school each culminating in a sword fight. The ultimate goal of these confrontations to catalyze the metaphysical alteration of reality on a grand scale.
Revolutionary Girl Utena the movie was a completely surreal, bordering on nonsensicle farce involving the same characters and setting as the series. To those who've never seen the series, the movie will make no sense. To those who have seen the series, the movie will make little more sense.
However, one good thing did come out of the movie: Some industrious person recut the most interesting bits and pieced them together with bits of the series into a slightly more cohesive narrative. Setting the whole thing to Bjork's Bachelorette made it dynamite.
