Um, What makes a work of art “obscenely profound” and what do you mean by “works on it’s
own levels”? And how do you determine “seamless execution” only seeing the final product?

Uhh well its a little hard to explain in detail ( i kind of hoped people would ignore my rant :P ) When i said "obscenely profound" i meant that if the message or insight or view point or whatever being expressed through the film is itself really original, different or all together a powerful message.. so much so that even if the film medium is bad, people take notice and respect it.. that’s pritty rare though.. the actual qualities can vary..
When i say "works on it's own levels" i mean that even without any underlying messages the film would be beautiful, interesting and meaningful because of its own basic merits ie the filming, characterization, story and so on..
And when i said "seamless execution" well really the hall marks of that are when its not obviously heavy handed in the way that the messages are expressed ie they are not immediately apparent and furthermore you cant completely dissect the film into its composite meanings and elements because its multi faceted/ multi layered and ambiguous.. in that way it can be thought provoking and up for interpretation.
Anyway I don’t assume you’ll understand what I mean.. not so much because its complicated but rather because im pritty confusing in my writing sorry..
