I can't believe this is on the IMDb's top 250 list.

I'm sorry but perhaps I need to watch this flick again. I am a bit of a movie buff - hey I even tend to call myself an independent filmmaker from time to time. But either this movie went way over my head or the drabble of hype surrounding it has got waaaay out of control.

I watched it from beginning to end with the hope that it would redeem itself by presenting an odd and unexpected twist to pull the whole thing together and move it to a level of brilliance (as many movies - particularly foreign films - tend to do). No deal AND I will never get my two hours of repressive throw-my-TV-across-the-room-this-flick-bites-so-much-I-can't- believe-more-than-one-friend-recommended-it time back. So before folks start recommending it to people sit down and watch it 10 times to see if you actually like it or (making a judgment here...eek sorry but) if you are just super excited to be watching alternative media.
BTW, I get the super-excited-to-be-watching-alternative-media deal but try ordering off- line, visiting an independent video store in your city, or downloading foreign flicks if blockbuster doesn't have a good enough selection (which they hardly ever do). There are some great foreign films out there - this just is not one of them in my opinion.
