You need to learn about them European movies

Posted by Victor Khomenko on January 18, 2011 at 13:08:16:
They are not like the American stuff you normally watch... they are insightful, philosophical, introvert, slow on the outside, but burning internally, with high passions bursting through the cold exterior like jets of super-overheated crap...

They also tend to be quite long... this one pulling the scale at about three and a half hours.

Truth be told... the first hour is unusual, entertaining and suspenseful.

The second hour is OK, less suspenseful, but still somewhat entertaining.

It is during the third hour that you are getting strong urge to switch channels... watching the actress' back as she is doing dishes for twenty five long screen minutes can be considered one of the most decadent ways of killing time, and I suspect even in Europe the sound of balls scratching gets loud at that point.

If you are a typical European pseudo-intellectual, then with ten minutes still to go you begin to think of uncle Pierre and his new life in America... his letters suddenly making more sense!

All in all, there is that school of thought that claims ANY new experience is valuable. Apparently this is the film for its practitioners.
