it difficult to express how bad this movie be . even in the 1950s when intellectual searching for the meaning of life be fashionable and beatnik rejection of physical comfort and clean clothes and haircut and etc . be a common reaction to the smug middle class more of both the usa and western europe and this movie would have be a stinker . the plot be a mishmash of several dei ex machina ( if that the correct latin grammar ) while the act consists of deadpan stare break by occasional hysteric ( by the male lead as well a the female ) while the gratuitous view of catherine deneuve ( or somebody ) breast be worthy of a budweiser commercial while the repeat cacaphonous orchestra rehearsal in the abandoned building be i be sure heavy with mean in the director mind but to me be just one more stupid symbol throw into this meaningless movie i be rant because my time have be waste watch this scam excuse for an art flic . the scenery be beautiful and the sex scene be hot but underneath his clothes and this king have no substance .
