I absolutely hated this movie. To the point where I applauded when it was over, as I was so glad I could get out of the theater. I saw this in high school, as the school attempted to let us experience Belgian cinema. I wish they would have picked Le Huitiéme Jour instead. Rosetta doesn’t have a storyline, the protagonist is unlikeable, and the entire movie is nothing more than a depressing collection of images. I suppose there’s an underlying social message, but it didn’t reach me, nor any of my fellow students. When we complained to our teacher that we disliked the movie, he replied “If you disliked it than you didn’t get it”. So when I asked him “Well explain it to us then” he huffed and walked off. It won a Palme d’Or, so you’re supposed to like it? Well, maybe this just isn’t my genre. But I never disliked a movie like this one.
