I am amazed that this movie is winning so many prizes.
The movie is well done and takes advantage of the white&black charm but, since minute 1, I realized the movie would gonna be so so long...
The movie is flat, the"story" (if there is one) has any interest and the result is something completly boring.
Under my point of view is a bad imitation on Italian neorrealismo (miles away from Rossellini or De Sica) or even the Mexican period of Buñuel.
