This is so intriguing to me - it was recommended to me by someone in the arts who I consider incredibly knowledgeable as their "film of the year no matter what else comes out" because it was "the most expensive experimental film ever made"...
...and I thought it was diabolically bad, one of the worst films I've ever seen, and so did my partner. In-fact, it was genuinely the first time I can ever remember quitting in the middle of a film. After 1hr 30mins, and realising we were only halfway through, we looked at each other and said "let's not put ourselves through any more of this".
It's the most polarising film I think I've ever seen. I've never known a split like it - people either think it's incredible, or absolute trash. The hyper-sexual element from minute one of the film was so grossly OTT it wasn't even like porn, it was like cartoon porn. The characters had zero depth, it was just "crazy rebel woman", "doormat rebel man" etc. - you didn't get to know anybody, the content was just arguments, chasing, running... It didn't make me care about anyone. It didn't feel like a film for adults, to me.
But clearly I'm the one missing something here, because it's critically acclaimed. I just don't get it!
