From that single observation of self reflexivity he leaps to: 'the greatest post-modern art film ever'? It's a little nuts. He's got a point about the circular self-referencing but it's too caught up in the cult movie context to he hailed as an art film and there's no evidence of Lucas's touting of the film as a postmodern masterpiece either (has anyone else heard this?). I think it's a case of a bad teaser. Had a few too many wines while deciding on the catchy headline.
