It has been a fashion in Europe, and as any strong medicine it should be taken in moderation. Andrey Rublev is a masterpiece not because it moves slowly, so trying to create another great movie by simply slowing it down often backfires. Tarr is good, but sometimes I feel commits the sin of over-indulgence.

I started watching the Aurora, and already am getting the feeling that things could be said faster. Too early to speak of the whole movie, though.

As far as the spoiler - one simply can't avoid knowing this film is not going to end in laughter - read any discussion on line, imdb, or just recall the "Death of...".

From Netflix: "slow-burn drama as 42-year-old Viorel, a distraught engineer who takes drastic measures to end his emotional suffering after enduring a devastating divorce."

Not exactly the TV sitcom material.
