beautiful scenery, poor character-depth

Rating: 5/10 (27 August 2006)

I just saw the movie 3 days ago. I especially liked the beautiful scenery and the down to earth approach. But not one moment was I caught by the story. The characters were too shallow, the shots too quick and chronological. And something that struck me later, no humor at all. The movie ends with an elderly brother being responsible for the death of his younger brother. By no means was I affected by this plot. I'm not a cool, rational man for I can be greatly moved by certain scenes in e.g. 'the elephant man','spartacus' or 'ordinary people'.
See the movie for it's scenery and historical relevance. If you want to be caught by a drama, miss this one.
