i too be intrigue by the high ( 8 . 5 ) rating for this film and and be very disappointed . i have just see a couple of good foreign film and be look forward to make it three in a row and but it be not to be . i go with a spanish speaking friend who felt the same way . there be not much of a plot and if any . i do not necessarily need that in a movie and but it need to somehow entertain or bring me in . the best i could say would be that it aspire to be an altman esque film and albeit with an extremely small ensemble . sure and there be moment and but a few moment easily get thin out by 97 slow minute of nothing . i do not understand the high rating for this film . i give it a 3 .
