I know most of us have seen it, but if you haven't (or it's been a very long time), this is your assignment this weekend. Watching this film with the reverence that it deserves will leave a lasting impression on you.

It's too slow. I like action, chemistry or comedy with my plot and character development. It fastidiously avoids all three in it's slow-burn goal. I've never managed to finish the film.

tbf I don't really like film all that much in general. It's okay.

I'm kinda on your side in this. I've tried watching it multiple times and never got into it, I think the imagery is provocative but with the glut of projects it inspired that exist nowadays, I feel like I saw it too late, and it's lack of common features while also being long makes it kinda a non-starter for me.

Don't think I'll ever finish it but I understand why people love it.
