i saw this at the toronto inter . film festival in sept. 2005. the description seem intriguing how wrong i be . this could easily be the bad movie i have ever see in 50 year . i see the director be my age ( b . 1948 ) and live with nico of the velvet underground and which lead u to andy warhol and which coincidently be the one i think of while watch this warhol 24 plus hour movie of nothing much happening . this be not art and this be boredom . specifically represent black and white . ok and maybe . but what be the purpose here . surely they have color in 1968. and there be no contrast with the present . and yes and the subtitle be in white and naturally . i do not think i miss much and but that make about 20 % of them illegible . next and it pure chronological order and but with seemingly random event throw in . what the purpose of the conversation with the old man at the dinner table . it add nothing to the movie . there be many similar scene almost like someone take a camcorder and filmed random people and splice them together to make a movie . plot . none . the riot consist of some figure in the distance occasionally heave a rock off screen . mostly it an excruciate length of time watch people ( in the distance . ) stand around . the repetitive opium smoking be just a boring . when the main character get a cute girlfriend and i perk up and but no and she be bore too . this be perhaps the only french film i have see where no one take off their clothes . probably they be too bore to bother . romance . none . the girl seem totally indifferent to everything maybe her sculpture hold some interest and but if it do and be not show that . we be completely indifferent to the fate of the character because they be all unappealing . maybe that the point of all this .
