I did not understand this movie. While it is celebrated by many as a masterpiece, all I felt throughout was boredom. At first, I was interested because the beginning made me wonder what was going to happen, where this slow introduction would lead us. Unfortunately, the answers were eventually nothing and nowhere. I understood that this movie wanted to tell me something, but I didn't think it was delivering its message in an effective manner. I didn't even find the cinematography to be particularly beautiful or inspired. I did like the music, and I wish there had been more of it (the silence only makes it seem even slower).
