"I wonder if there is a special hell for directors of this kind, where they are forced to watch their movies, repeatedly, forever..." Was the thought running through my mind as I watched this crap! But I guess that God simply can not be that cruel.
This movie runs for way too long and nothing happens. People laugh, have sex (boringly), stand around looking photogenic etc etc. There are, for sure, people who will applaud this futile nonsense. I (though a Tarkovsky- and art-film fan) hated every minute of it! I think every film maker should remember the first rule of cinema, be it chinese art or Hollywood, which goes: "A scene that, if cut out, does not SIGNIFICANTLY change the story SHOULD be cut out!"
