it a shame that a movie with such beautiful picture and a really fascinating insight into monastic life just turn out to be extremely boring due to endless repetition and 160 minute length . it pretend to be a meditative movie but in my opinion and see others meditate be just simply very tire and especially after 2 hour or so . initially i thought and wow and there be so much beauty to be see here ( and i really love silent movie or movie with a slow pace ) but this one just go way to far . i catch myself at want this to finish and much early than it actually do . i have read about something at the end of the movie which i be curious to see and otherwise i would have leave the theater much earlier . really a pity .
