most of the positive comment post here be as verbose a the movie . it take a long winded bore to appreciate a wordy and boring film and one supposes . some have merely call the film contemplative and meaning slow and devoid of plot and however and one dutch reviewer hit the nail on the head represent this be an important event turn into a dull film whose tone be set in the very first scene . here a young couple be be show an apartment by a realtor who and predictably and talk non stop and regardless of what else be go on . so do just about every other character . the only silence in this picture be dream sequence 1930 soviet propaganda snippet and they be also it most interesting part . this tell you something about how watchable the rest of the movie be . the device of film most of the scene in extreme closeup a if one be look through a crack in the blind get old fast .
