The Waiter

A cold film. Precise storytelling and clear definition of life for a waiter. A lonely one, part of his daily routine, from job and dialogues with his colegue, to the terrible events and the manner to survive to them and proposition of new perspective , not comfortable of happiness. A film like a challenge to the public because ot propose ,in inspired manner, questions about connection with your job, about superficial known next door neighbour, about live and freedom , about hobbies and colegues from work and clients and general knowledge and strangers and well prepared dishes. So, just a special film.

The waiter - well folks - that was me - waiting through endless twenty second pauses of nothing happening - waiting for somebody to say SOMETHING - waiting for any back story whatsoever - waiting for some explanation of the dynamics of the relationships - waiting to find out why any of these people tolerated each other - or even attracted each other. Waiting to find out what on earth the quarrelling couple in the restaurant had to do with anything - or why there was a long lingering shot of the male towards the end.

Waiting to find out why this film was ever made.

It had nothing to say and the end was totally predictable. I am sorry for the people who paid good money to view this in a cinema.

When you see a movie categorized as "arthouse", its best to stay away, That way, you won't be sorry to have wasted 1-3 hours of your time, watching some meaningless meanderings of people/places/situations, without any real idea of what is going on. Sure, in this "movie", there are some definite things, but what they have to do with each other and why things happen the way the "director" puts them in, is totally unknown.

The arthouse label seems to have been devised in order for piss takers to put nonsense together and to persuade the critics & the public (while chuckling under their breaths), that their movie is a cerebral exploration of %^$£@*{+!><:"{}£$%($£@.

Don't waste your time. Find a real movie to watch.

Director: best get another job, where you actually do something.

This movie imay bore you to death if looking for daily dose of media painkillers. The story is plain. Acting is restrictive. Pace is slow.

This is a zen story in images. It will force you to face yourself. It will remind you about your quest. It offers you a way out without loosing your integrity.

Maybe it is not my taste, but it was a waste of time. Almost nothing happens the whole movie. Very predictable. The plot was not that interesting. Except for the main actor that played well, the rest of the actors were just bad.
