Despite it being visually and conceptually stunning, the film turned out to be extremely slow and actionless for my taste. Many people think that the aforementioned positive qualities outweight the negative, but personally, I think that narrative must prevail over visuals,soundtracks, effects or symbolisms.

It makes me feel like an unsophisticated swine but this was so incredibly boring. Took me 2 months to watch the first hour, maybe when I am old I'll be able to appreciate it.

I have seen this film many many times, last night on my hd tv in blu ray, and looked absolutely amazing, this is a masterpiece, this is cinema's mona lisa, absolutely spellbound watching it, gets better with every viewing

The slowest movie in the history of the cinema...

Groundbreaking? Yes. A good movie? Not really. There is a great short film buried here, though. I'd love to see that fan edit.
