Well he is Danish, and European cinema has a lot of slow paced movies with minimal dialogue. I watched recently Only God Forgives, from the onset I was sure the American audience will hate this movie... Our brains are so used to the fast cutting scenes, that it takes strength to sit and be able to watch movies like Tarkovskis "Stalker", or Béla Tarrs "Werckmeister Symphony". We have un-learned to be patient with movies, books, and life itself. I mean who has actually read Dostoyefskys "Crime and punishment" recently? Its so slow you want to kill yourself in the beggining...after a while it becomes one of the greatest books you will ever read. Concerning the storyline, yes there is a story here, only I was left with a lot of questionmarks.. example what happened to his father..and no one likes loose ends. Our brains are made to make meaning even out of nothing. And stories from Homers Iliad to Avatar, follow a simple linear recipe. A begining -a middle -a moment of Resolution towards the end and of course an ending. Movies and books that try to differ from that, rarely keep anyone satisfied. We all want to hear see and feel a good story, Everything else is packaging. Other than that cinematographers should really watch this movie full of ambient light, and beautifully set up scenes. I can make a poster of almost every scene in that movie. They overdid it for sure. will watch again. and cant wait for more of his movies....

..........everyone has a pencil, not everyone can be a writer....

Where is ? all the films of Terrence Mallick, Stanley Cubrick and Hitchcock should be there in the top.. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 9. 10.
