With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for politics junkies and book lovers. Power and ambition drive every scene. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 41 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1954: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
The happenings in a shoe factory serve as a not very thinly veiled examination of the pros and cons of both socialism and democracy.
