Overlong and surprisingly boring.

So many of the scenes really dragged and were twice as long as required. The (over) acting by some of the cast really should have been edited out or dealt with at the time. I expected so much more from the genius filmmaker but I wonder if he got carried away with the film and just missed the mark.

No other director would have been allowed to make such an uninspiring movie, it's just a self indulgent dull-fest. You can't fault the cinematography and quality of the filming but it was an hour too long and not much of a story. It could have even been made into a 2 part TV thing.
