takes plenty of patience to make it thru....

Rating: 4/10 (30 June 1999)

I finally rented this one to see what all the fuss was about. I am still wondering. That this flat, boring, glacially-paced, lifeless, leaden effort should be considered one of the great movies of the age is a depressing thought. A great film leaves itself imprinted in the mind; I saw this several months ago and I remember a) the opening plane crash & b) the closing death scene. The interminable 2+ hour (seemed like 4 at the time) gap in between is just a blur. So much for moviemaking in this day and age.
