Dui,It's interesting that both you and Victor didn't watch the entire movie.
Perhaps I'm easily entertained but I liked the atmosphere right away. Possibly you were responding to the very static, surreal, quality- nothing seems to happen but in a kind of beautiful way- that does need the right mood to enjoy. This would be the mood when we realize it's been too long since we attended a really great tea ceremony.
But it was fun: I felt that the style communicated the strangeness that foreigners feel about something like the proto-religious cult around Dead Elvis. As someone from "out of town" to where I live, the depiction of foreigners- that awe of the strangeness- in the US seems almost always interesting.
I would suggest trying it again when you're in a semi-David Lunch mood, but would rather see "Stranger than Paradise" -and in colour. But see it through- it's a fun kind of journey movie.
Cheers,
Bam
