He's worst when he tries too hard to talk openly in a film about concepts such as 'a dream within a dream' and having random things occur for no apparent reason. Those are what he knows, what he's about, what he bring an incredible magic and intrigue to.
For me he's at his best when he sticks to vampires and castles and artistic/strange symbolism and atmosphere. I mean the movie was mainly just random shots in New York with two actors when Jean was on a visit there, it's ridiculous. Running at only 52:08 minutes, I have my doubts whether is even supposed to be a 'real movie' or Jean thought of it as such. I never connected with any of the characters at all. Things happen in this movie at least, but it's so mixed up and boring it's hardly a movie at all. I very much disliked the whole thing, I can't tell whether this or Iron Rose is worse but they both are very bad movies in my view.
