201 minute running time which means that it’s very… long. That’s the point, it’s supposed to be excruciating, and it’s cleverly made, back when people switched the light off when they left the room. I had read a spoiler and knew how it ended, which was unfortunate. This is capital A.R.T. art for the art house crowd … a “feminist classic,” I don’t know about that, but it is scary when monotonous routines unravel. Farr recommended it.
