Movie Reviews
Also saw this film at the New Zealand Film Festival. It was a painful experience sitting through this film hoping that it was going to end prematurely.
The story line (i.e. the subbed English version) made little sense. I struggled with the exorbitant amount of time spent holding shots. It made for horrendously boring viewing.
The costume/set design was the only redeeming feature. Costume/set was absolutely gorgeous although I would have appreciated seeing those same costume/sets within about 10 minutes. Extending it over 100 minutes was not fun.
