paul’s review:
Brutally slow East European art house twaddle. If the worlds longest shot of a corrugated shed being dragged along is your idea of entertainment, this is for you.
Kind of reminded me of the Anton Corbijn Depeche Mode videos of the 80's, but minus the music, style and being 2 and half hours long.
I get it, you like light and shadow, well done. Now kindly piss off.
Hahahaha! I love you, man. I have yet to see this, but you are the first person I have seen who hasn't thought that this was an absolute masterpiece.
I haven't seen this particular movie, but I'm inclined to agree. Having spent about two years on it so far, I've managed to get about 1.5 hours into his 7 hours long Satantango. I'll probably finish it sometime near 2020 - or possibly never. :-)

Just watch the film, and loved it, but I love this sentence almost as much.
*watched, rather.
Is the one star for the score then? I'm not sure how anyone could dislike that beautiful piece of music.
