This movie got a number of "best" awards from Cannes.
I rented it this evening expecting more than I got.
Slow, painstakingly laborious. Too little dialog to impart what the director/writer was trying to get across.
This film got so many awards but I fail to see why.
The film was reviewed by tinnear (see URL below).(not trying to bash you)
I am a neophyte film viewer. I will admit that.
I would love to have some of you other folks who have a critical eyes/views rent and critique this movie, but, I ask you NOT to read the plot ahead of time.
Perhaps I am displaying my ignorance, but , ONLY after I saw the director's interview on the DVD , did I understand what he was trying to impart.
In my opinion, the writer/director's screen writing was so poor, that he failed to tell the story properly.
What can I do to learn how to read into films what others evidently have the skill to see.
