It was a very interesting movie for those who are interested in the subjects it talks about and somewhat knowledgeable about its subject matter, but it is certainly not for all audiences. It was well made, and there were (intentionally) humorous moments, lots of memorable scenery, beautiful music, and a good bit of variety. Not all of it was French intellectuals talking about Heidegger. But a lot of it was quite serious, even heavy. My companion remarked that there were a lot of words for only a few insights, but that's often what one must put up with, and most movies offer no insights at all. I must admit, though, to having a vision, at the end, of Alvy Singer taking Annie Hall to see "The Ister" a second time, her resisting, and the audience cheering for her. Still, I plan to buy the DVDs if they're not too expensive.
