It's worse than wank it's stale wank from a pair of pants you find in your sitting room and you don't know who they belong to.
;-p
Everyone should see this film. Just to see how not to make a film and what makes a *beep* film! They should show it in every film school in the world. I hate the film but i'm not gonna bitch and moan about it cos i could be here all day but its just absolute rubbish and i hate it and it is a pile of wank but everyone who has an interest in film should see it.
shareEffing hell you sad people, it's a FILM ffs, you don't like it, MOVE ON

Clay seems to have moved on from ripping off Haneke and Herzog to ripping off Hsaio-Hsien and Weerasethakul. I'll stick with the innovators, not the plagarists, thanks.
That's the truth right there. Although I always thought he was ripping off Noé more than Herzog. Either way, he's a shameless attention-seeker with no ideas of his own.

I see: shot in Thailand = ripping off Weerasethakul! Talk about a shallow lack of ideas... As for the Haneke comparison, this is almost as superficial: Haneke is a traditional moralist, always trying to scold his audience with his films. I see none of this in The Great Ecstasy of Robert Carmichael.
Nb. Clay himself has cited Bresson, Tati and Chris Morris as the primary influences on this film, which is far more interesting and makes far more sense (unless, of course, you think directors should be free of all influence at all - in which case, I suppose, you better confine yourself to watching the films of the Lumiere Brothers on a loop. And, yet... even those have been influnced by still photographic techniques. Oh dear...)
