Seriously, I love film and I have two post graduate degrees so what's going on??? The actors were amazing, the sets were striking, the filming was okay... so here's the 'but'... But the script was too weak. Here you have these actors giving their lives up to the screen in period costumes, authentic looking sets and moody filming but the dialogue was both difficult to understand and while you're straining to understand that they just said they say more meaningless stuff and jump around signing and dancing drunk. And then it's daylight and everything has changed. I think someone forgot to read Aristotle's poetics. Things happening out of sequence without purpose. Characters entering the story line without enough information to understand why they are there. And finally only the weakest links to the characters behavior and history to account for them going mad like that. If you don't want to tell a story but just give some randomly connected images to the audience and let them make up their own story, well then okay. But don't charge me for a ticket if I"m making up my own story!! All in all I don't recommend this movie at all. If it was a 20 minute movie I could recommend it but not two hours of this ridiculous self important twaddle.
