Foreign film snobs, come blacken my eyes . . .

Watched "Discreet Charm" the other night and was NOT bowled over. I think if I had seen it in 1972 I would have found it unique--not so in 2004. The farcical nature was more educational to me than amusing--that cultural difference thing. What I will give it is the creative use of "dreams" through the last third of the movie, particularly when Rey is insulted by the Colonel and they duel at the dinner party. "Discreet" seems to be the first use of the "folded dreams" comedic device.

And, what the hell was all that walking about?
