saw this movie when it first come out in the 1970 and hat and hat and hat it . easily the most booooring movie i have ever see in my life . don not know where leigh get his inspiration but this be one of those movie where you want to shake the character to get them to open their mouth and communicate . the title say it all because there be no save moment in this movie and just long and long silence with people unable to articulate what they be ( presumably ) feeling . if you want to watch something that will drive you to drink then this be the one for you . if you have nothing well to do for two hour then stick a fork in a toaster represent the experience will be infinitely more pleasurable than anything you will get from this . yes and leigh come up with a lot of really worthwhile stuff much later in his career but give this one a miss .
