Chickens, tidbits and the English Patient
If you loved Citizen Kane, go see Vincere. If you watched the English Patient and didn't squirm in your seat and hope he would die after an hour, go see Vincere. If you like chickens, go see Vincere. If you enjoy taking a nap in a dark theater, go see Vincere. It took more than two hours to tell a story that my husband encapsulated in about three paragraphs. There were so many hints, tidbits and allusions that went nowhere, it was frustrating. It was epic, it was creative and film instructors should assign it for homework. It's the sort of thing you could write an essay about but it makes for dull conversation over a good espresso.
