The concept is interesting but the execution drags on. Starts off as a very slow documentary then strays into strange flights of fancy. The sequence in the car pretending to grab the other vehicles was just bizarre. My wife and I now call this "the potato movie" and affectionately remember it as one of the worst we've ever seen!
shareya, old French ladies are weird
shareI'm sure a lot of people will disagree but I agree with you. I had to watch this movie for my French class (I got about an hour in before I had to shut it off) so that's probably another reason I didn't really like it since I was forced to watch it. Maybe I should have given it a better chance but I just couldn't get into it from the very beginning.
shareThis film is rich and fascinating. And it's not slow (in the first 6 minutes we already were given a lot of information and new episodes are always emerging) at all. Pity that you didn't like it, but no work of art is unanimous.
shareI found the movie painful to watch for an entirely different reason. It was hard to see a lot of these people living on the edge who had to scrounge for food. There's one scene where we see someone fairly young and healthy picking through the stalls and in the same shot someone very old poking around doing the same thing with a cane. It's heartbreaking to see people like that.

Emotionally painful to see some of the people in the film scavenging, not that the film was boring or tedious because it was far from that for me.
