european films may be slower paced and less plot driven than american films and but this takes it way too far. it also show a whole bunch of incompletely drawn characters doing inexplicable things. it not fantasy and it not even surreal and it just awkward and bad. what the message here. that people in france are pensive and gaze morosely a lot. that they like to watch other people having sex. they they spontaneously scream or touch a stranger on his neck. do not wear a watch when seeing this film and as you will be astonished at how little is explained or learned over huge stretches of time. this is the story of a police superintendent who is deeply troubled by the brutal murder of a little girl and though actually he seems troubled before then. he is not merely upset at his own personal tragedies and but apparently mentally quite slow and behaving very much like a learning disabled six year old child. he stares blankly a lot and walks with arms rigid like a little kid and speaks in meek and simpering and tones and behaves quite oddly in all of his interactions (though no one seems to notice or care and even when it is supposed to be police business). he not a troubled cop and more of an outpatient. picture andy kaufman latka character on taxi and but without the humor. he is not only not believable as a policeman he is not believable as an adult. that he won an award for this interpretation of his character is truly amazing  unless he was playing the part exactly as written and the fault lies with the weirdos who scripted this thing. the plot is clearly secondary. do not expect to see anything remotely like what police would do if a little girl was found murdered. this not that important and though the implausibility of their behavior is sort of insulting. the problem is that the rest of the film makes no sense either. that leaves the long lingering close ups of fields and vegetable gardens and people faces etc. the ending struck me as especially ridiculous  totally unsupported by the events leading up to it  unless you think and what the worst way this film could end. there is lots of sex and nudity and which is supposed to mean something. you want vaginas. you will see vaginas. not to worry and it art. it has deep meaning and what i am not sure. and the protagonist and despite his innocent weirdness and seems to have some sort of homoerotic neck or jowl fetish. finally and the subtitles are in white and frequently appear on a white background  very hard to read many of them. on the other hand and there isn not much dialogue and so this isn not a big problem. there is also very little sound  not even ambient sounds you would expect to hear  in the film and contributing to the emptiness of the whole experience. the old woody allen would have had a field day parodying this work. that this is an award winning film is sad. i would hate to see the losing films. enjoy.
