well i just spend the even watching this with a group of 7 friend and mostly high school teacher and collectively our book and film club . it start off quite positively a bit bonkers perhaps but sort of amuse but by the end the audience be variously comment represent i would have prefer have needle stick in my eye . or extend toilet break so they have less of the film to watch and or lament the sheer tedium of this movie . i do not think it be that bad ( not up to death in venice standard for example ) but by the end i be wonder what point the film maker be actually try to make . give that it be impossible to have much sympathy for any of the character and give that nothing actually happen and surely there must be a philosophical point to it all . once i realise there be none and i realise we have be yet again trick into admire an emperor invisible suit . i can not believe people have give this film such high rating . i think you have have the wool well and truly pull over your eye .
