i actually turned this off about 40 minutes in. maybe i'm an un-cultured heathen, but i couldn't take it anymore.
the film is full to the brim with "art movie" cliches - there's almost no dialogue; many close ups of faces with too much makeup; long cuts of "meaningful" glances that are supposed to convey volumes but don't.
we often cut to scenes of cloud shadows rolling over a desert to indicate the passage of time. there are b&w silent montages that almost seem like they're leading somewhere, but really don't.
the way that The Visitor starts affecting people is totally out of nowhere - these are apparently the horniest, most sexualy repressed people on the planet.
the most generous way to put it would be to say that this film is not "accessible"... |
