49. "trying to "get into" the film, but it's tough" In response to In response to 45
I watched the first 4 hours. There are certain scenes/qualities that I like--the doctor's diaries (just ran out of fruit brandy...it appears I have to leave the house, LOL), the money stalk, the cat wrestling, etc.--but if the last couple hours don't end BRILLIANTLY, I'm afraid I won't like the final product much.
Tarr definitely hammers the hopelessness of the setting & characters in your head..that is for sure. But there's only so much I can take of really long cuts of one person walking from point A to point B, pausing for 3 minutes, etc. before I say, "this shit is boring."
