A LONG AND EPIC MOVING ART.

Okay, this is a long one and a masterpiece. This is the first time I watched a movie with over 3+ hour runtime. It's basically a 4-hour movie (3hrs and 50mins to be exact). At first, I hesitated because I am not fond of watching a film that too long. But I promise, It's worth your time.

This is a story of 4 different people that struggles in their depressing town each experiencing a depressing life. Each has story of its own. A boy has an abusive father and had a problem in their school after having an accident caused by him. A girl who has a negligent mother and having an affair to the vice dean of their school. An old man with nowhere to go after forcing him to leave out at his apartment by her family for financial reasons. And a middle age man, who has a family issue and having an affair to his best friend's wife.

I like every seconds of this movie especially to have a style of long and floating shots. Its very quiet, not too much dialogue but the emotions of the main leads deliver the story so perfectly. They all have very sad faces and as you look in their eyes, it's like they are telling us that there has no meaning in "living". The cinematography is also soothing, every shot is worth it.

I really love this movie and maybe my favorite movie recently. Even the story is depressing, I see hope in the ending.
