Too slow

Rating: 3/10 (22 June 2007)

This movie is painfully slow, were it not for the epileptic fits the main character experiences as he sequesters into delusion, I would have fallen asleep.
The story centers around David, a pianist who attempts to play a song which is supposed to be similar to mastering the ring from 'Lord Of The Rings'(too powerful to wield). The only difference is that the song does not make anyone invisible, and there are no elves in the movie, just fairies.
I experienced a mixture of pity and boredom as I watched a man slowly (extremely slowly) lose almost everything of value in his life. For some reason I continued to watch this piece which attempts to convey a reflection on the tapestry of life being fragile and imperfect. I had hopes that there would be something redeeming to come out it (never happened). I don't see the beauty of a destructive commitment to playing a piano.
I turned this movie off wishing I had never started it, David is half as lovable as rain-man and twice as mentally challenged.
