Title: nothing happens very slowly
Review: I am a fan of international cinema and art-house films (Bergman, Truffaut, Renoir, Lelouch, Eisenstein, Kurosawa, Oshima, Fellini, de Sica, Tornatore etc etc) so I have to admit to being surprised and confused over how this film scooped prizes at Cannes and elsewhere. I suppose that it was so different to the average Hollywood "shootemup" that some critics thought it original. So original that the director obviously felt that minor factors like character development, a story and an ending were not really necessary. To be fair the camerawork is original and the film has a neo-realistic feel, so, if you want an alternative to the latest offering from Cameron and do not mind sitting through the long pauses, separated by long pauses, you could try this film.
Is the review positive or negative?
