I was always taught that if you had nothing nice to say about anything, don't say anything at all but I cannot and will not hold my tongue at trash like this being given 'artistic merit' by arty farty long haired, pipe smoking bohemians in tweed jackets and cravats just because they want to be seen as intellectuals who 'get it'
They're like those whiney voiced art commentators who always see more in a painting than is actually there insisting that a particular brush stroke was clearly an indication of the artists turbulent personal circumstances. Put a sock in it for gawds sake!
They can claim that this film is historically significant..... it is not. They can claim it's culturally important....it is not. They can claim the director had a higher vision and was breaking new ground...don't make me laugh!!!!
There is literally nothing new or clever about people taking their kit off and running around naked outdoors. They were making sepia movies of this back in Lumieres day, at least back then we didn't have suffer through boring, minimalist and so called 'profound' dialogue to go with it.
These classless, 'experimental' movies of the 70's were nothing more than a knee jerk reaction to the liberation from movie censorship as if they wanted revenge for the years of suppression.
All of these so called 'genius' directors were nothing of the sort they were just trying to plaster as much nudity onto our screens as possible, the more nudity they dared to exhibit, the more acclaim they felt they deserved, and should they cram their movie with enough pubic hair to fill a mattress and label it as 'art' they could climb to the very top of the avant garde tree.
It was really a very sad and depressing time for cinema, great dialogue was sidelined, great stories were shelved, I mean, who needs great dialogue or stories when you can have two naked people having a minimal conversation or a one word exchange while jumping on a trampoline holding a cabbage.
Get over yourselves. Next time you're having an 'It's the Arts' gathering with a bunch of fellow pseudo intellectual lefty luvvies over a bottle of Rioccha and rare cheeses as you ruminate over which one of these experimental directors were the best, think of how sad and pathetic you all actually sound...the answer is none of them!
