As entertaining as banging your head on the table, but that is the point.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-74014953016038588162015-10-30T11:34:57.744-05:002015-10-30T11:34:57.744-05:00It's not for everyone.
I rather liked it. It...It's not for everyone. <br /><br />I rather liked it. It's a unique cinema experience..<br /><br />I think it's fun how excited you get over the most mundane things just because they're a little less mundane than putting away the silverware. Like after dinner when she told her son there was a letter from her sister Fernande in Canada! Oh please! Read the letter out loud! I was fascinated by that letter! It's been snowing a lot! And women drive in Canada! And they're going to teach her to drive when the weather clears up!<br /><br />And when the woman came to pick up the baby! I was on the edge of my seat listening to that inane monologue about the visit to the butcher shop! What should she buy? She couldn't make up her mind. So she bought veal just because the lady in front of her bought veal. But the kids don't even like veal! And it doesn't really have much nutritional value. And so expensive! 300 francs! And Jeanne is like uh huh. Uh huh. We like veal. I make it every Tuesday. Okthxaurevoir.<br /><br />And you breathe a sigh of relief every time they go outside! <br /><br />Also, that fascinating search for the right button in every button store in Brussels.<br /><br />For me, killing the guy was a bit of an anti-climax. Even for Jeanne, it wasn't nearly as exciting as when she got a package from her sister and spent ten minutes carefully opening it so as not to rip the paper.<br /><br />I can understand why people don't like it. From your reaction, I think you should change your review title to Miserable Fat Belgian Bastards.<br /><br />And I'm hardly part of the latte-wearing, beret-sniffing crowd, The last movie I watched was Escape to Witch Mountain. And the next movie I'm going to watch would be The Thing with Two Heads except it's not on until tomorrow and I have to wait!
