Again, another boring ‘masterpiece’ on the Sight and Sound Top 100 list, but not as bad as some of the entries on there (im talking about you 8 1/2, you Jeanne Dielman, you A Brighter Summer’s Day, you Beau Travail, you Andrei Rublev).

The fact that this is on so many people’s lists of top films can be explained by the fact that they are allowing pretentious filmmakers and critics to dictate their opinions.

It’s 3 hours of boring conversations. Nothing cinematic here. It could have been a radio play and it would have had the same effect.

If you are a budding filmmaker, u can skip this one because you won’t learn anything.

The characters mention Murnau at one point. Go watch his films and see what cinema is and can be.

There’s nothing of value here. But for some reason i didn’t hate it as much as i was expecting to.

3/10 - can cross it off my list and will never watch it again.
