Movie Review: master of tedium strikes again
Summary: 1 Stars
Incomprehensible tripe about a couple of troubled women at a mental health worker's seaside summer cottage. One of the actresses (when interviewed for the supplements) is asked to describe the film--and guess what? She couldn't. I guarantee you, not even the "writer/director" could explain what in hell he was trying to get across.
Worse than that even, the commentary consists of some guy saying things like: "Now we have a close up..."
"It's dark now...wait, now it's light..."
Huh? This individual is supposed to be a film historian! He couldn't figure out what was going on either, so he makes above useless comments throughout. Any wonder why college grads are dumb-as-dirt these days?
Film historian? Oh yeah. Sure, baby.
What was the writer/director on when he put pen to paper?
I have sat through my share of slower-paced films (ie: Polanski's The Tenant, Repulsion, The Pianist; Chabrol's The Unfathful Wife; Akira Kurosawa's Ikiru; Henning Carlsen's Hunger; various Fassbinder flicks; various slower-paced films by both American and Euro director's, etc.) So long as there is some semblance of story there, so long as the tale is about something and goes somewhere...I don't have a problem and can sit still long enough to see the entire film. But here? With this "masterpiece?" Painful--is about the only word that fits.
