The tragedy is even if a work is truly meritorious it can't escape the overpowering stench of news-hack hype that surrounds all show-biz. We must also remember the curse of the CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED, of which this is in spades with its Palme d'Or, and the deadly notion that movees must be consumed like medicine. When someone like the fillum critic at NRO tells us something is superb we cannot trust him. We know we are supremely closed-minded in dismissing things like this, but think of how many recent works of genius were rebuked when a clearer-thinking public came to know better.
