Dreary and Emiserating
I spent several hours, or perhaps it was years wasting what I consider to be an otherwise valuable life watching this film last night.
Unable to escape my mid-row seating I had to sit through the whole thing. I was on more than one occasion bored into unconsciousness, only to be disappointed on reawakening that the film was still running.
I awoke to such delights as a 60 second view of a blue sky, several minutes of people filling a bath with water, 90 seconds of goatwatch and several hours of a man sitting in a room doing nothing at all.
What little dialogue existed was delivered in depressed, stilted tones by misdirected actors, whose inner misery palpably infected the audience. This was made even worse by the fact that the English subtitles were often printed in white on a white background.
The end product must have been immensely disappointing to the talented people who worked on the sets and costumes, all of which were meticulously and beautifully designed.
We looked up the IMDb rating on this movie before going to see it, which was at that time a misleading 7.2. I can only assume that this is a friends-and-family vote.
If you value your time, take heed of the reviews and ignore the rating.
