So many metaphors that I can't detect!

Rating: 9/10 (30 July 2015)

First I have to admit that I picked out this movie randomly, without knowledge of its starring and producing year.So as It began, I didn't expected such a film. You know what I mean. Funny that I actually thought it was produced about 10 years ago, so when Ralph Fiennes first showed up, I though it maybe his brother or somebody else. And the very appearance of Jude Law only made me think "Man, did he look this old back then?"
However, I consulted Internet and read some reviews before I continued. To grasp the whole picture. So I understand that it is very well made, with its structure and symmetrical cine-frame and humour. However there are also reviews claiming its emptiness, saying that it actually did not convey anything concrete.From my perspective, this film has meanings, maybe too much and too opaque, too many metaphors that I cannot understand.
