Spiritualized Kaos

In this very long film about philosophical reflections on good and evil in a time that could be the end of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th century and where I have to confess that I fell asleep two or three times, I can't quite understand an episode in the middle of the film. Is it the Russian revolution? And I understand even less the continuation as if nothing had happened

_Malmkrog_ is 3 hours and 20 minutes of dinner conversation centered on philosophy, religion and politics. If you can stay awake long enough, you''ll learn all this dialog is only a metaphysical tract that goes nowhere near deeply enough to anything resembling universal truths. I do like how they tucked a single action scene in the middle, like a figurine in a King''s cake, as kind of a reward for those who happen to be awake at that instant.

Cristi Puiu proposes a provocative work. The camera denies the representation of emotion, even the vision of the faces of those who speak. It''s cinema against cinema. After the only sequence that introduces external elements, there is no explanation. Soloviov''s text is contemporary. If you can endure three and a half hours listening to philosophical concepts, you are an intellectual. Then, you can fix the world.
