I went to this movie last night at the Chicago Film Festival, based on a good review that Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune wrote.
Michael Phillips and programmers for the festival should be ashamed.
This is the most self indulgent, inane, and boring film I have ever seen.
Author "GreenFeet" (who also comments here) is lucky he/she got up and left. My wife suggested we leave at the 40 minute mark, but being a lover of movies I declined. She then proceeded to fall asleep and was probably more entertained by her dreams.
How many times can one watch a character, for minutes on end, do nothing?! 5 plus minutes of a locked frame where we watch nothing but a house. Do we need to see the character walk into the building, walk through the lobby, walk up the stairs, walk (slowly) down the hall...I mean really, we see this over and over...it isn't funny.
There is no score to the film. just dreary quiet sounds of silence for most of it.
The film never does anything. It supposedly is supposed to convey the banality of life in Romania and tedium of working for the government/police dept...but in reality all it does is bore the audience.
With all of the good independent film out there, and all of the young struggling filmmakers out there hoping to get their chance to have their movie play at a "prestigious" festival, the programmers should be ashamed of themselves for choosing a film that purposely bores the audience. ashamed.
