Title: too slow too ambigious
Review: While Jost is getting praise for his daring use of the long still shot, it lost its punch about 1/3 of the way through the film. The dialog is too clipped, the characters are helpless and pathetic. While not clarifying central plot questions can keep one thinking about a film, it does not work here. We are left with a series of images in the life and marriage of the main character. We are unable to know any of the story, but have to jump from image to image like paintings in a gallery. The juxtaposition of these central images with shots of the town, northwest landscape, and daily lives of some of the townsfolk is like trying to listen to someone speak in a loud room - you are not really sure what is being said. The slow pace and long still shots do afford plenty of time feed the cat, check on ebay auctions, or put out the recycle. I'm a little surprised I watched till the end.
