Beautiful landscape

Rating: 4/10 (17 February 2018)

This is a thoroughly European experience, at least in regards to the family who is "Jewish, French and Italian." The languages that flow throughout the movie are enrapturing, as is the cinematography. But the sexual tension loses its power as it is prolonged and does not move the story forward. Someone wrote it was long but the time passed quickly. Huh? I was checking my watch every 10 minutes after the first hour and a half. This movie could have been powerful had it been further edited. As it was, it became tedious. The father gives this awful, preachy lecture to the son which made me grimace. The screen turned dark, and I thought, finally, The End. But no. Hanukah appeared and I left. Enough already!
