Transit

I can only write about the first 30 Minutes of this movie. After I feel asleep. It's terribly boring.

The premise of telling a story from the year 1942 in present day Marseille is typical "I'm such a brilliant and radical genius" idea. The director thinks he is so creative and super smart but - it just doesn't work at all. You don't sink into the film's reality - it's too contradictory. Never. Also you don't get attached to any of the characters. It's all just too abstract. The main character is not cast well for this role. He doesn't fit the role. He's very handsome, but too laughable, he lacks dramatic weight, he lacks presence. HIs speech defect doesn't help. Not even the human basic ideas of the book are transported. It's just a strenuous piece of art. Failed art.

The Voice over is terrible. Filmed literature with a voice reading from tha book - pleeeese - gimme a break.
