Just skip this

This movie starts like a thriller, and may be a coming of age story.From as soon as the opening scene, you get that the pace is going to be slow. I thaught "oh no it's a Derrick (1974) like !", the famous 1970s german TV show every one was making joke on the borring pace one feel asleep on every show. I did keep watching to, at least, get to the ending. So it kept my curiosity up, while minutes after minutes I was ready to give up, too bored.Then I wondered about the acting. It felt obvious that the actors not only were told to keep a very mute expression all along the movie, but also they got bored them too at playing this way. I never got close to any of the characters, no depth. At one point I just realised, that there's never any smile (or cry), and it was fun to realise how true that was then after.It is tagged as a gay interest movie, but it's not what I'd call it. It's kind of the reverse. There is a gay kiss, but there's no love (to say the least) and the only sexual relation the main character will have is with a girl.It's the story of a psychopath. Up to you to make an opinion on him. Mine is that he's a homophobic "curious", but it could be something else.The scenario is top. A remake could be great.I'm a pretty happy rating guy and I don't give that often a low one. It's just messed up, too slow, really boring. And the photography doesn't help with faded colors. I'm surprised it's not in 4:3 and black and white.The very "european" open ending is like a threat, oh my god, there could be a sequel !

Well, I hated this but loved every second

Such an infuriating ending (as in abrupt with NO satisfying climax) but I couldn't stop watching. Maybe I'm just too Americanised - media style (or simply stupid) but there were so many seemingly unresolved threads and incomplete story lines that by the end I didn't really trust any of the characters or know who did what or why.I'd love to see a directors cut of the story, even if it was 3+ hours long (or even a directors commentary), because I was glued to the screen through the entire event but I guess it kind'a reminded me of Romero's 'Martin'. A boy on the cusp of manhood but detached from the world around him.I'm glad I got a chance to watch this and was hooked right to the end so I guess the filmmakers did what they set out to do - freaking annoying tho' :)
