e. elia merhige existentialist experiment in the enduring be definitely one hell of a boring watch . this be like something alexander de large be force to watch in a clockwork orange . but and despite just how unwatchable this film really be and it be a success . if you be read this and have not already see the film and then it be too late . for me and at least and the payoff ( after 3 separate viewing with lot of break in between mind you ) be see the list of character after the story be tell . that when the simple message hit home . but i wonder if merhige could have tell a 5 minute story in about 30 and instead of 78. however and see a how the cast of credit be display prominently on the front page for this movie and the cat be already out of the bag and you surely will only appreciate this film if you appreciate existentialist film make from the early 20th century . even then and you might puke . 4/10 ( but i commend merhige for craft a piece of art and even if it be unwatchable ) .
