“Patience is part of the point.”
Duration becomes texture. The film asks you to inhabit its world instead of merely processing its plot.

Put The Cheyenne Social Club on trial.
Two incompatible taste archetypes. One film. Read the arguments, then issue a completely binding cultural ruling.
“A test of endurance, your honour.”
Stillness keeps submitting itself as meaning. At some point, contemplation needs something worth contemplating.
