Movie is just a compilation of random images with no resemblance of narrative pacing or rhythm whatsoever. I'm not saying this because I don't like this sort of movie. It's quite the opposite, I love Tarkovsky. That's film poetry. This is nothing. It's visually pleasing, but lacks consistency to create some sort of meaning, some metaphoric images are interesting, but then they're just completely out of touch with the rest of the film. There's no actual feeling conveyed, you can't feel the characters. But the worst is the writing. Simply disastrous... And not because it's unnatural, that's acceptable for some conception of poetic film. But here... it's not beautiful, it lacks the poeticism it claims so bad to have.
