Art that needs an explanation is not very good art.

The subject of the film - endless march of time, ageing, dreams and lives that might have been - is very interesting.

Often when you read, listen or watch something that aligns with stuff you are thinking/going through, it hits you and already feels familiar, like your own piece.

This movie contained a lot of those things for me, but did not hit.

It felt like a mess with everything thrown in to a blender, with few deep thoughts sprinkled here and there in to a mix of driving, snow and culture references.

As a movie it should be able to stand alone, suck you in and leave you with something else than just confusion.

Rather than going "your too stupid to understand" I am going to say this movie just wasn't crafted well enough.

It is not horrible, watched the whole thing, got some nice pieces and flashes of greatness, but as whole I expected more.

I have to read the book to see if the great concept is better handled there.
