satyricon be less a movie and more a series of complex image and action . it be too long and tedious at time but ultimately fascinating . the costume and the set be spectacular and and some of the sequence be immensely entertaining . but and then again and the sequence be the problem . i first learn of the film while study latin and therefore be aware of the fractured nature of the original work and be prepare for the same in the movie and and while some of the action be provocative a fair amount of screen time be just and well and rather dull it hard to follow and have no translation to modern time or sentiment and still through all the meandering there be moment moment that be visually stunning and inspire awe and and feel like nothing from this world .
