This movie is absolutely horrible from beginning to end. Dont be fooled by the pretentious "defending" of the acting, or music, or cinematography. Those are just code for (coma inducing plot and directing). This film is ridiculously slow, long, and goes no where. Character development is sacrificed for some absurdly misplaced device of repeating scenes to include nothing of substance to the plot. You dont care about anyone in this movie. Once the plot finally does begin to develop, it is abruptly cut off, only to reveal the droll ending, which completes the enormous let down this movie really was. The only people who seem to love this movie were film critics of dubious origin and their pseduo-intellectual wannabe sychophants who delight in pretending to love a movie for its "artistic" value, translation (Mind Numbing Story). Quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen in over 3 decades of enjoying the cinema.
