I'll start with what I liked.I really liked the songs, everything about them was great, the costumes, music, lyrics (as long as the translation was good :) ), choreography, everything.I loved the crab scene and the cooking scene.But that's about it.I get it, arty cinema, blablabla, but too much is too much. Too much silence (it was interesting for an hour, but two hours of hearing steps and moaning from time to time, really...), too much boredom (no movie should ever be boring, no matter how deep it was to be!), too much porn-like scenes (I do get it really, I get that they were filming a porn movie there, but really, REALLY, really that is too much) I truly think, that cinema should be for watching and this one is definitely not watchable in no way.3 stars for the songs.

The movie is actually too slow. There are some nice images but it cannot outweigh the fact that the movie is in fact boring. You see a sexual intercourse a lot of watermelons and a sexual intercourse while eating a melon and maybe a little bit more. It may sound even interesting to someone but believe me to watch it for 2 hours isn't fun at all. Though you laugh several times but it's really not enough and it may be more out of despair and disbelieve than out of fun. To disturb the boredom director tries to put few movie video-clips into the movie. They are really colorful clips of absurd songs maybe from the 50's but it's hard to say exactly and they are trying to be funny so hard that it's really sad. Several times you have a feeling that the plot could evolve into something, that a powerful scene is being created but at the end it just somehow evaporates and that's it. Beside the clips there are hardly any dialogs let alone music. The director is trying to be original and artistic at all cost. Personally I cannot recommend the movie. I believe that art is something that shouldn't be boring. During the projection there was yawning all around the cinema which just corroborates my short review.

This comment is not coming from a film buff, but rather from a college-age girl who likes to watch weird stuff on a big screen. So I've seen my fair share of "original" movies, and this one was quite possibly the most original of them. A lot of other comments have given meaning to the film; I'm glad, because I walked out of the theater desperately in need of meaning to justify the scenes that I watched (both in their violence and in their confusion). If anything, I'll say that the film had value in creating ideas that wouldn't have come to anyone's mind otherwise. It's also fascinating in the sense that, although it shows porn, it's decidedly not porn, and the distinction is one that I wouldn't have pondered on my own. As for a final meaning, I'd say that it's one of those films that's either completely brilliant or completely ridiculous - either way, it's not coming to me. But maybe it's better that way... Anyway, brilliance aside, get ready to cover your eyes during the last scene...

This is a movie about pornography, romantic love, isolation and watermelons. In some unspecified city, a man and a woman fall in love. She does not know it, but he is a porn actor. There is a drought going on, and people are using watermelons for water, and some other, sexier, activities.It is sad and hilarious. It is slow, and then there are some weird and funny music videos I cannot quite understand, but worth very much the while. There are images that are worthy enough to be photography as art, just turn them into posters. It does feel dreamy, whether you find it gloomy or absurdly ridiculous, or both. And the last scene will stay with you, even if you laugh.
