a work of art, not entertainment

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2008)

A lot of people say that this movie is bad. Well, its one of my favorite ones. First of all, it does something Hollywood stopped doing a long time ago and that is to create art rather than entertainment. Its all about the money nowadays, how much a movie will spend and make. This one goes the completely in the other direction. Its emphasis is on the directing as a frame rather than directing action sequences and its more important to make the characters real through acting than through their actions. Its different kind of directing makes it interesting to watch. The scenes are long, filmed from angles that makes you think how the camera is just thrown into a place from where its filming. The dialogs are slow and it really tests your nerves. Be prepared for great acting and almost no action as you might be used to. The whole story happens through intense camera movements and dialogs. Its 'super hero' idea is nothing like other movies about super heroes.
If you like art, this movie is definitely for you, but if you're in for the thrill and action, you'll get bored.
