Glad I'm not the only one here who doesn't understand the high regard this film holds for many. I don't often go to theatrical screens these days. Saw this at a museum film series that's featured great past and contemporary international films. Upon exiting the theater I commented my displeasure to a fellow attendee who thought well of it. My criticisms bounced off his defence of the 3 hour run time, indifferent acting, murky cinematography, pointless story and unsatisfying ending. "So is life", was his rationale. Uh, ok?!
My real complaint is with the review community I read prior to attending this. The praise out weighed the more accurate cautionary warnings.
Thankfully a month later the series featured 'Perfect Days'. I loved THIS 2 hours of nothing much happening.
