English Boring as a session in the Chamber of Deputies, empty dialogues, sniffing dogs, endless dancing, and a love story that goes nowhere. It ends with a metaphorical shot of clay, which sophistically signifies clay. Nice depth of composition and work with framing and music, otherwise a bitter and depressing waste of time. ()
