Arty, Pretentious, Boring, Overrated

Rating: 2/10 (23 August 2004)

What can this film tell us in 2004? Almost nothing. First of all is slow, much too slow. Second it wants to be a beautiful film, but it is not a beautiful FILM, it is a collage of impressionistic pictures, which are unfolding in a slow manner. If I want to see some beautiful pictures I go to a photograph exhibition. A film is dynamic, it moves. Beauty in a film is created in other ways. A film is not a power point slide show. Third is pretentious since it wants to say something 'very' profound and uses all the tools to signal that. You can say something deep in a relax mode, without all that symbols which connote with high culture and vanguard art. So it is an highly overrated film.
