I watched this film again, not having seen it since it first came out
during the heady days of back then. My friend, who had not seen it
before, asked me if it was an 'absurdist comedy' after the first
twenty minutes. Sadly, the old warhorse has no kick left in it. And
the bad filmmaking shows through glaringly--everything is talk talk
talk slapped on top of clumsy cinematography. I can't believe that
those who vote this a 'ten' have actually re-looked at it in the past
decade. This is one of those films that just ends up on classic
lists. Tedious and clumsy to the point of silliness. Not "Z" but "zzzz".
