Anyone know what language it was the chanter (guy with incense) was chanting at the orgy scene in EWS? Or was it just nonesense?
Russian. I believe he was chanting the opening to Shostakovich's 14th Symphony.
I always thought that "orgy" presumed at least SOME level of excitement. Here it looked more like a Soviet Politbureau meeting - slow, so long and boring that the floor was litered with dead flies, idiotic in its content, and with ridiculous walking-dead body motions.Before last night I would have to strain hard to find another example of such lame inept cinematography in my recent memory. Since last night there is a close tie - that Eyes "orgy" crap vs another load of trash - "The Other 9 1/2 Weeks". Wow, what a pile of steaming horseshit that one is!
Why would any IDIOT make such stupidity? Why would anyone pay to see it? Why did *I* buy that DVD? After first fifteen minutes I was ready to turn it off but kept suffering for another hour or so - can't really tell you why. My wife just kept on reading a book all through that trash with only few glimps at the screen and some snide comments. I just sat there baffled... That movie redefines the word boredom. How did they manage to get the finances going?
I bought it back when my local Best Buy had only few titles on the shelf, and never watched it - my old DVD player refused to play it (smarter than me, I guess). The new one didn't have any problem (must be from that cynical X-or-whatever generation) and gave me full taste of its honey...
Stupid, stupid, stupid...
Given my love for French interiors, I was able to find at least a small grain of consolation in that lazy stream of boredom. These shots plus some gorgeous views of Paris kept me going in some slow motion...
BTW, what has he done to his face?
