A waste of everything

Very good photography, nice scenographies and an honourable attention to the music choices.

Yet the slowness, the lenght, the uneventfullness, the verbosity, the systematically cryptic script (even harder to decipher than the happenings themselves) where an aulic vintage (shakespearean) style gets untastefully mixed up with words and hidiomatic forms that could be used by a millenial, the weirdly ridicoulous theatrical delivery style of actors... all this, completely sinks the production to the level of unwatchability (indeed I gave up after 1 hour).

When people don't even care about the author's idea/project/intentions it's his fault... it's inactual (in a backward sense: something that might have received praise 50 years ago from a SNOB audience) trash.
