It was The Milky Way. Maybe I was too tired, but this super-symbolic one was too much for me. Yeah, sure, lots of fine moments, but they do not a good movie make, in my view. I haven't seen this one before and don't feel like I missed much.

Although one critic says: "Though some moments may make almost anybody laugh, the movie is intended for highly educated audience, preferably familiar with the history of heresies and the Catholic Church - without this kind of knowledge much of film's charm will be missing."

Well, perhaps, and I am definitely not highly educated in these, but to me a movie should be able to touch someone at more than just intellectual level. Otherwise it becomes information transfer vehicle and not art.

When I look at a great paiting of an old Italian master, I may not know the particular mith behind it, but that doesn't stop me from seeing it as art. If the story gets in the way of senses, then it is the wrong brain hemisphere that is addressed.

Am I too wrong here?
