Watched in 2021: Movies (152 movies items)" Director: Roy Andersson His 9th Movie My 1st movie watched from the director. I'm not sure what to think of this movie.

Movies the giraffe watched in 2016: August (30 movies items)"First viewing - Aug. 7th Recommended by VierasTalo Well, this was a complete slog to get through. Even though I watched it in the afternoon I still had to fight to not fall asleep during it, and I kept hoping for something that would justify my sitting through it all.

Obviously this is done on purpose, but"
