Boring collage

Rating: 4/10 (4 February 2006)

There is a certain type of good musicians who want to compose, yet are able only of bunch of good overtures never a self-contained solid piece. The movie feels like being itself a product of this kind of creative mind. Moreover the idea is presented as stories of one character who is the crazy storyteller himself. It is a mixture of picturesque stories that built an ego of an old chap who happened to have an eager audience in his own family. This is how the film gains sentiment and integrity. I can't believe that this sentimental crap got 8 points. The start is very puzzling. First 15 minutes I had a tough time to orientate myself ..it looked just like a big challenge or a big hype....the latter it was. Credit goes to the form.
