Does an award-winning film have to be praised? It sounds like there is no "cultural divide"!

The music is very nice, and the praise goes to Music.

How should I put it, it has all the boring, uninteresting features of literary films. The characters that appear the most are the salesmen of two Party gifts. The most common place is the bar. It would be tedious to see them appearing and appearing all the time. Therefore, the director disrupted the characters and locations, which seemed to be a montage, and the audience would not feel so boring when watching the movie.

-- Tell us about the highlights!
In modern society, there are kings and armies. Full of style. Riding a horse and carrying a knife. Vigorous and arrogant. The military song was loud. The division of the defeated army is disgraced. Contrast with the previous echoes.
In 1945, on the streets of Victory Day, an American soldier bent over and kissed a passing lady, and the photo became a classic. Well, earlier in the film: 1943. More characters: The barmaid gave the soldiers a deep kiss for alcohol, and not one, but a roomful of soldiers.
A genocidal army (probably the Nazis) drove the primitive tribes into the gas chambers. The people outside the glass room watched with their wine in their hands. Probably satirizing those "gentlemen" who were sitting on the sidelines! But the gentlemen are all old-fashioned, sharpening the sword of irony: you are all old.

It is not difficult to see that the director likes the military from the fact that all the highlights come from the military or are related to the military.

    Roy Anderson's films are very similar to paintings. The technique of one shot and one scene directly borrows from classical oil paintings that capture momentary events: art is interlinked. Simplicity, sluggishness, and numbness, everyone is living this life depressed. In contrast, the part of the thin and white king hooking up with the bartender is really unexpectedly bright...

    The absurd approach abandons the narrative of traditional films. Like installation art, all characters are pale as clowns. They live numbly in 39 beautifully composed fixed shots. Anderson's thinking about time and existence is not judged by whether he can understand it or not. film
