Mediocre, overlong movie comedy, which would have worked better as a TV serial. The first half had some interesting ideas, and several laugh out loud shock gags, but it also fell apart into a fairly bad film in the second two hours.
It reminded me of Southland Tales, another sprawling, incoherent, high-concept comedy. I'm not sure why this movie is regarded so much better, but I'm tempted to think there is a kind of Japan fetishism in the mix.
"Mr. Tarkovsky, whose earlier films include ''Andrei Rublev,'' ''Solaris'' and ''Stalker,'' may well be a film poet, but he's a film poet with a tiny vocabulary. The same eventually boring images keep recurring in film after film - shots of damp landscapes, marshes, hills in fog, and abandoned buildings with roofs that leak."
Really, 7.9 on IMDb? Only one other dislike here? Talk about overrated. This movie felt like an after school special. Humorless, cliche, and badly acted.
I've never seen a movie before where an obnoxious, free-spirited black guy gives an uptight white guy a few lessons in loosening up and enjoying life. Where do these French people come up with these crazy ideas?
I saw a movie this weekend where young people are ritually and voyeuristically sacrificed in order to appease the powerful, all in a manner tightly orchestrated from a control room. It was called The Hunger Games.

This had an 8.7 last year on IMDb. Now its at 7.7 with 30,000 votes. I assure you that this is the result of bots or some other form of cheating. This is a very bad, very amateur film. If IMDb cleans out the bogus ratings this might be bottom 250.
The aggressive harassment of female coworkers is probably the central running joke of the movie. It wants me to laugh along but it just makes me wince.
I don't know what version you watched, but the 2011 Criterion release has subtitles. This movie would be all but incomprehensible without them.
I like it how the characters say 'thou' and 'thine', etc. Whatever low class dialect this is, it's ironically closer to Shakespeare than the respectable English of My Fair Lady.

One joke is that the movie is 9 hours long, but I'd've rather watched that 9 hour spoon murder movie than 7 hour Satantango.Movie comment on I'm Here
