When I heard that two people passed out after watching this film I was shocked to discover I could barley stay awake while watching it. I don't understand how films like this are considered "artsy." It dragged on and on and on with little effort to draw sympathy out of the audience for ANY of the characters. They were all equally unlikable. Horrible movie IMHO.
shareIt was directed by Michael Haneke. A trademark trait of Haneke is that his movies is slow paced and his scenes drag on. he tries to portray reality but fails to realize that its not why people watch movies. He has said in an interview before that he tried to make The Seventh Continent (1989) - another of his films as boring as he could.

you should not project your taste upon others.
I dont need to project anything. just look at the most popular movies of any time period. they will almost universally be escapism movies that portray things different than reality.

I found the film very fast paced and compelling. It wasn't boring at all. The characters were horrible and disgusting, but I still cared about them and felt sympathy for them. In my opinion, this is a masterpiece.
