I confess, I have never had such a hard time getting through a film. I know this won best picture, but I think it's time is passed. There are many other films from the same period that I think are much more impressive. It didn't help that the DVD release is actually quite poor. I was surprised because I have some discs of silent films that are of much greater quality and not so dark and washed out.
Still, the music is memorable and I like the smoky look that the director achieves. I'm glad I finally watched it, but I can't really say I enjoyed it that much.
