My notes

First time viewing since the theater.
First time viewing the director's cut.

This was a good, dark, big brain movie that sort of kicked off a late 90's mini-trend of "what if reality isn't real" films (see also The Matrix, The Thirteenth Floor).

Also, not as deep or twisty as I remember (though this was the director's cut and that usually makes plots easier to follow).
