Superb, beautiful, moving

I don't usually criticise other reviews, but this time I have to say something. If the words 'boring' and 'nothing happens' are ones that you often use when describing films - stop watching arthouse movies.

Sure, the film is short on plot - but its slow pace is precisely what gives the characters and the situations so much depth and resonance. The film shows us many awkward and poignant moments that just don't make it into commercial films. Male relationships, the modern vs the traditional, class, love, lonliness, alienation, it's all there - and only with a long unhurried gaze can a film produce such moving results. Also, the photography is jaw-droppingly beautiful.
