I can't love it.

Rating: 7/10 (28 September 1999)

What can you say that hasn't been said? I thought it was boring. I thought it was slow. but i did appreciate it. It was very beautiful. Cinematography was great, but it really wasn't my scene. I understand how people can love it, but i really don't. I didn't really connect with the mood of the film, and the shadows. Sometimes I found it looked too overdone, and extreme, that it took away from the film. It somehow makes me feel like it is a film that instead of being art, is trying to be art. It is just too textbook, every scene and shot is in your face, this is how you should feel and there's no subtlety. The film doesn't let you react in your own way, but it guides you a little too far. The emotions are already created for you by the director. I enjoy taking more participation in a film I'm seeing.
