Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The suicide of producer Humbert Balsan on 10 February 2005, prompted director Béla Tarr to shut down production of this film, after disputes with the other producers over a possible change in the film's financing. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Maloin and the bartender set up the chessboard and pieces for their daily game, they place the board with a black square in the lower right corner. (The baseball equivalent would be to have the catcher and batter set up at first base instead of home plate!) more

Pretentious rubbish, 17 March 2009
1/10
Author: fnaticchi from United Kingdom

Completely & unbelievably pretentious. Forget beautiful cinematography, it was just long black & white shots & there are only so many times one can play on shadow & light before even the dimmest member of the audience gets the message. Forget the tragedy of the human condition, it's all been done before & in a much better, so much less pretentious way.

As for the switching between English & French...why? Pretentious rubbish. I am both English & French & it annoyed ME!

The symbolism was so heavy-handed it was like being hit with a sledgehammer. So little sublety that at times I was actually convinced it was a spoof!

The director obviously felt that if he made a film boring & pretentious enough, everyone would think it was terribly 'deep' & judging by some the comments on here, he was right!
