Hollow + ultimately PRETENTIOUS !!!

I just saw this film last night and I really enjoy the cinematography, and this was the only reason that I didn't walk out before it ended. Yes the acting was superb as well as the editing; however, the stories put together were atrocious that made me cringe and grin, especially when I saw what happened to Harvey Keitel and the reason behind it. ( no spoiler here, but what I could say about this part of film was : this is downright stupid I felt like shaking my head out of disbelief ).
This film's subject was mainly about aging and though this film was a complete waste of time like The Tree Of Life, I did get one thing out of this film was: Make Sure I Don't End Up Like Any Of These Characters Here, Please Please Please!!!
I can also give you an idea of what this film felt like ---lf the National Enquirer + Hello + Photo, these 3 magazine were to collaborate together to put out a coffee-table book with high gloss best quality papers and hi-definition printing and beautiful package box. This would be the production equivalent to this film !

How dare you have an opinion that's not the same as everyone else's.

Movies don't need to be entertaining (good acting and scenery are all that is needed).

The more abstract, slow, nuanced, etc., the smarter you are for liking it.

Don't sweat it, it's an awful movie with great imagery and really good actors. And Madalina Ghenea's body is out of this world.
Apart from that, it's a typical british tongue in cheek, 'we're sophisticated and laugh on the inside', no humour, no action, *beep*

It's pure *beep*

There's a way to do slow, there are movies where the action unwinds slowly (mostly Slavic movies) and there's a pretentious british-french way of doing it. And let me say, it was soooo boring.....

And Maradona would NEVER be one of those characters. At his worse, when he was fat as a pig and full of cocaine, he was still funnier and more lively than all the people and characters in this movie put together :))

I looked up "ultimately PRETENTIOUS" in the dictionary, it was defined as the unecessary use of all caps.
