I find that I disagree with the majority here. I thought that the monologue and abstract animations were a very different, very personal reflection about the artist's fears and anxieties, about politics, consumerism and encounters with different people. I'm sure that the majority were put off by this sequence because they wanted to see a scary film, end of story.
Also, not to be blunt, but this is a French movie, and by that I don't mean "Amelie." The French as a whole are less afraid to talk honestly about these subjects and are less afraid to appear pretentious or "arty-farty" (is it pretentious to use the word "pretentious"?).
The narration didn't have a personal touch to me because I didn't know anything about the artist. Heck, I don't know a thing about any of the artists in this flick. In fact, I thought the narration was a femininine voiced man, not a woman. All in all, it felt like tedious, stream-of-conscious dronings. Whether or not this film is French and/or pretentious is not the case here. Most of the pretentious stuff bored the audience.
My sig: why do almost all movies on imdb have a "worst movie ever!" thread?
