This slow, painfully repetitive, poorly written (and/or translated) film is one of the worst films i've ever seen. Billed as a "black comedy" it wasn't black or comical. The story (if you can call it that) takes forever to develop and then it repeats itself over and over with the exact same dialog and character stereotypes in each scene. All shot with a hand-held video camera and cast with horrible actors, each scene is so amateurish that I had to keep watching because I couldn't believe that it kept getting progressively worse. How this movie ever got made or distributed is a mystery to me. And I believe this is nominated for a best foreign language feature academy award??? Am I missing something?
