Took me two days to plod through

Watching this movie if drowsy will certainly push you right over the edge.

Reminded me of a Terrance Malick film. Thankfully, did not possess the length. 93 minutes seemed relatively short until I started watching it. Fell asleep twice during two separate viewings.

Beautiful cinematography, but slow pace and hardly much dialog didn't help matters.

Sorry, but I'm just another one that isn't exactly bowled over by "2001: A Space Odyssey" either. I get them, I respect them, but I just can't get fully on board with these projects.

To each his own. For me it's one of my favorites of all time.

I could watch it any time and not get bored. I love decent into madness movies and this is one of the best.

one of the best? if you say so.
we will agree to disagree.
your taste in movies is just eclectic. that's all.
let us not even get into "Salo."

Lol this movie ticked by pretty fast for me, I heard one person describe it as a pocket-sized epic, runtime wise

I'm from Paris... TEXAS

Probably is an epic, just not for me.

Not for me either although granted it is beautiful to look at and Kinski is marvellously bonkers.
