Visually beautiful but has no content

Rating: Null/10 (26 December 2015)

This film tells the story of a retired famous conductor and a movie director past his prime, having a holiday in a resort in the Switzerland. They meet various people and reflect on their current lives.
"Youth" is visually very beautiful. The scenery is beautiful, the resort is beautiful and the sets are beautiful. Every scene is well thought out and beautifully composed. However, that's really the only good thing about it. There is not much of a story present, only characters mumbling away through the film. The four other people I went to the cinema with had no idea what the story was about. There is no central message, no plot to unfold and nothing to engage the viewers. I wish I didn't watch it.
