Trivialidades:

The suicide of producer Humbert Balsan on 10 February 2005, prompted director Béla Tarr to shut down production of this film, after disputes with the other producers over a possible change in the film's financing.

Errores:

Errores cometidos por los personajes (posiblemente errores deliberados por los cineastas): When Maloin and the bartender set up the chessboard and pieces for their daily game, they place the board with a black square in the lower right corner. (The baseball equivalent would be to have the catcher and batter set up at first base instead of home plate!)

Pretentious rubbish

Completely & unbelievably pretentious. Forget beautiful cinematography, it was just long black & white shots & there are only so many times one can play on shadow & light before even the dimmest member of the audience gets the message. Forget the tragedy of the human condition, it's all been done before & in a much better, so much less pretentious way.

As for the switching between English & French...why? Pretentious rubbish. I am both English & French & it annoyed ME!

The symbolism was so heavy-handed it was like being hit with a sledgehammer. So little sublety that at times I was actually convinced it was a spoof!

The director obviously felt that if he made a film boring & pretentious enough, everyone would think it was terribly 'deep' & judging by some the comments on here, he was right!
