Why did they cut out the scenes with dancing pink elephants?

Rating: 3/10 (16 August 2016)

The universe of this movie presents us in a quite significant way an SS-like military formation stationing in a building with pink walls. So why did they removed the pink elephants dancing between the scenes? Because this form over substance picture apparently lacks some clear circus transitions between scenes. Especially as there is this proper piece of music for such a dance, that is played when the end titles are finally rolling
This is nothing more than a pretentious attempt on an art film. A bunch of good and great actors had to be somehow mislead into showing up in it. Humor has the level of middle school students that have just discovered Monthy Python. Beautiful sets crafted with details were contaminated with quasi-fantasy approach. And the whole unrealistic story and behaviors may fit well within the semi-fictional universe, but they sure do not help the film itself: the further it goes the more of tiresome starts to leak out from the screen onto the viewer
To be honest, one must admit that there are some good or interesting moments or ideas; that were unfortunately simply wasted or misused. There are also some masked / reworked events from history of Europe and parallels to today's problems (like mass migration). But overall, this movie should be re-titled into something more appropriate, like "The Grand Cinema Joke"
