Any intellectuals out there who didn't care for this?
In reading the many glowing and articulate reader reviews,I find myself quite surprised, not arrogant but humble. This film just did not resonate with me.
All of the positives- the premise, the allegory, atmosphere, cinematography- were overwhelmed by the overbearing length and repetition. It felt like one long somber note, and I know it will not stay with me. Ah well, I'm glad the creative and hard working director and film crew have so many appreciative IMDB fans for this labor of love.
