See it and judge for yourself!
This is not a conventional film, and a majority of folks may not like this film. I absolutely loved it. Much of the "story" is presented visually, with very little dialogue. And even at 3.75 hours, I did not get bored. The film looks beautiful! The actors and directing give tons of depth to the characters. This is not a movie that tells you a "story".

The only thing that may make keep you from watching it, besides it's length, is it's thematical material. It is extremely depressing, no happiness, until the end, even though it is still very depressing. Great cinematograpy, camera work, acting, direction, music, sound, and what else can I say, but that Eureka, is in...
