Very slow and boring film, like most arthouses. Almost 3 hours. It is based on the stories of Haruki Murakami.
The director and actor stage a Chekhov play. Actors are being selected. In the process of selection for the viewer, it turns out that in modern theater roles in one play can be performed by actors who speak different languages and do not understand each other, and even mute, communicating in the course of the play with sign language. Technically, it's easy.
And here is the relationship between the actors and the director. Everyone has problems in their personal lives. There is no big intrigue, so the film is for an art house lover.
