    Nice insight depends what you find boring,I find modern superhero films and generic action thrillers tedious in the extreme.
    The Godfather is long and could be thought of as slow but it's never ever boring.

    Something I thought of when you were talking about realism were Mondo movies. Those are the closest type of movie to actual "realism" I can think of, since they even basically eliminated acting from the art.

    A Slow film can be extremely boring if you do not see the point of the content. Content in film is everything and is different for every viewer. Chantal Ackerman's greatest film is slow but not Slow like in ' Jeanne D. ' I was bored by this film but not by ' The Captive ' ( her great film for me ) and it is based on parts of Proust's ' In Search of Lost Time. ' It is a slow film as is ' Ruiz's ' Time Regained, ' again based on the last part of ' In search of Lost Time. ' Proust is Slow and is perfect for slow cinema.

    Rephrasing the title: "death. learning to love the lyrical beauty of death". In other words, just because some "directors" do not know how to make a film and, thus, they film everything, assuming you will be that gullible to go looking for a hidden where there is none, does not mean there is beauty in it. Beauty does not come from void, for there is NOTHING in the void. There is no need to "learn to love boredom", as there is no need to "learn to love death". Boredom is... boring, and boredom is the total opposite of "beauty". Artists do not use boredom to make beautiful stuff - they make beautiful stuff to avoid boredom. As for all the names inside this video, whom some think that might represent great film directors... well, there is something that describes them all and their pseudo-aesthetics of boredom. It is ""the emperor's new clothes". Those clothes that weere so beautiful that only the very bright ones could see and understand them - and why was that? Because those clothes were not there. Tarkovski or Kubrick, dressed and rapped in the incredible void of boredom, acclaimed by "intelliogent" people as being "goregeous" and "amazing". learn to love boredom. PS There is a way something might come out of such a movie. Your psychiatrist might prescribe it together with sleeping pills, for a consolidated effect. "Take these, every night, before sleep, while watching Antonioni/Tarkovski/Resnais etc You will sleep like a baby, in maximum 30 minutes.". That was my reaction to "Stalker" and "A clockwork orange", at the first attempt of watching (and I took no sleeping pills, so...).

    there's a difference between slow and boring.
    Figures In A Landscape (1970) is a slow burn masterpiece.
    Jeanne Dielmann (1975) is boring, unwatchable garbage that shouldn't even exist.
