I can't say that I was bored too often watching this. The dialogue and the cinematography combine to make an experience which felt like one of the depressed highs the characters are constantly in. Even when relatively nothing is happening onscreen, it's still fascinating. The problem is the characters. I didn't care for them in the least. Several of us watched this together, and roughly 3/4 of the way through, I asked if anyone actually CARED what happened to them. Nope. By this point, in fact, we were only even vaguely interested if\when someone else would get naked. Did they all starve making this film? Anyway, it's basically yet another sad movie about sad people leading sad lives doing sad things to make themselves sadder. When Syd tells Lucy "I think I love you." we're forced to wonder how exactly she can tell. The only character with much emotive capacity at all was the German actress who was stoned out of her head throughout the movie. (she emoted, that is, when we wasn't passed out, which constituted half her scenes) In the end, it was fascinating to view, but leaves one feeling almost as emotionally empty as its characters.
