Yeah, it's the same as my favorite "slooow" film.
It's seven and half hours, so with 2 intermissions, it's a 9 hour+ experience. Some people left the theater, to eat, or whatever, but not me. I stayed in my seat the entire time.
It would be impossible to stay that focused at home. If you get the chance to see it in a theater, do it. It's worth every grim second of your time.
Watched it last night and everything about it surprised me. It’s so goofy and so terrifyingly sad without any tonal inconsistences, all while maintaining a constant speed of 700 mph. Even at 4 hours long it doesn’t give you time to blink. There’s nothing in the universe, I think, that so totally encapsulates the feeling of Beethoven’s Allegretto when it’s so loud it’s in your bones. It’s not for everyone, but I’ve never seen anything else remotely like it in my life.
