I understand that most people hate this film because it moves so slowly. It might actually move slower than any other movie ever made. I don’t care. I LOVE THIS FILM!!! This epic masterpiece reveals an ironic Existential beauty within the torment of its subjects. The slowness of this film works to amplify the emptiness within the lives unfolding in front of us. The film moves at a rate so we can sit back and really study the composition of the photography, frame by frame, WITHOUT any worrying about missing anything. At times this film seems to stand still, like a void staring right back at us. It’s a beautiful void. Maybe the most beautiful void ever.
