Uncle Boonmee And The Nature of Art

OK, let's get the important bit out of the way: don't watch this movie. You don't need to nor should you ever want to. It's obtuse, self-indulgent and, worst of all, boring; so pretty much the kind of movie I'd end up making if I got my hands on a camera, but still. The point is: this is a piece of shit. Pretty, sure, but shit.

Good. I'm glad that we've got that sorted right off the bat; now I'll be a little more specific.
