the sense of humor.
Kind of reminds me of what a prominent film critic said years ago in reminiscing about a private dinner at a film festival at which many critics admitted, after much drink, that they were bored silly by many "serious" films, but to admit it would strip their gravitas.
Specifically, the problem with many "art" films is their lack of pacing. The director either should have been a still photographer or a novelist.
At any rate, this problem multiplied when "talkies" began. It seems many directors mistakenly have conflated movies---let's move, already!---theatre (I'd bet, without actually having researched it, that many Russian film directors began in theatre), and literature, i.e. very little movement, lots of talking (especially voice overs and narration), little or no plot development. In a word...boring.
