It took almost two years between wanting to see this movie and actually doing it.
It was scary before seeing it. I have always had stereotypes about literary films such as "procrastination", "boring" or "unintelligible contrived".
And this movie shatters that stereotype.
Under the lens of a truly outstanding director, all slowness ceases to be boring or trivial. The rhythmic soothing is filled with rich and delicate imagination, suggestion and emotion. Almost all the plots are progressed naturally and logically in carefully selected pictures. I could literally substitute myself into that distant summer. Some of the only dialogues have deep meanings, implying temptation, cowardice, and innocence. The most important thing is that all this is easily perceived by the audience - you don't need to over-interpret it at all, everything is created naturally in your mind, and it is tacit.
I admit I can't express my love for this movie with enough compliments. There is no need for too much analysis of the plot and screen skills. I believe that everyone who watches the film is so fascinated and enchanted by it that they lose their words -- and that's where the skill is self-evident.
It must be pointed out that gay men are undoubtedly more suitable for the audience of this film. It is difficult for heterosexual men to understand the implied meaning from it, and perhaps they will only find it boring and tedious.
