Unfortunately too long

I really wanted to like this movie. As a big Gaspar Noé fan I looked forward to watch this movie but it suffers from one of Gaspar's biggest flaws: Almost no story but loooots of running time. At least 1 hour could've been cut. Most of the time the characters don't seem to do anything. The subject is important but the way the story was handled makes it seem "uninteresting". There are very few conflicts and when they appear they are too subtle and almost non-existing. Maybe I'm blinded by the fact that Gaspar is a very scadalous director but he missed with this one.

Apart from the fact that there is not much content to justify the 2:22 h run time I kinda dislike the point of time the story takes place. From the very beginning everybody seems to have settled things already, they accepted the situation and every discussion or drama ends immediatly.

What I really liked was the way this movie was filmed. Especially in the end when you see that one part of the main character is absend.
