Beautiful but boring

Rating: 4/10 (16 February 2018)

This film, to me, seems like the same kind of "art" as a transparent globe in the middle of a black room.
You're supposed to say you get it without it actually doing anything for you.
Without a doubt, this had some amazing visuals for a film from 1968... But man... It's just boring.
You'll have to sit through "paintings" on end for 25 minutes before anything story-related even happens. I don't know if it's just me, but I watch movies for the story.
And the story is good when something finally happens. But at the same time, it's constantly broken apart by insanely long transition scenes that does nothing but to just show yet another "painting".
So I'm sure this is a masterpiece if you're the kind of person who can spend hours looking at a black dot on a white canvas. But for me, this was waaay way way too slow which just made me think "Let's get on with it already!"
