As others have mentioned, the cinematography/photography is impressive.
The dates are debatable but the basic legend is consistent.
Acting was superb.
Now the honesty.
As much as I love foreign films and non-mainstream, this was dull for me. I do not expect hollywood action garbage and do not watch those films.
It may also be a matter of timing. Maybe I watched it at a time when I needed something fast paced instead.
Good movie though.
