While I like the cinematography, script, gags, and mostly the totally decadent atmosphere of the 30th, I can't believe that anyone in the audience can follow somewhat on the who-is-who of the 30+ protagonists. Plus, they all have their intertwined likes and (mostly) dislikes, their various motives and feelings on why they pretend. Yes, actually it is the great big pretending movie.
While the description of the high society visibly falling apart, and the dawn of a more equal society becomes visible, there are just too many characters to actually grasp, and follow.
In the end there is a murder, and despite all my best effort, I couldn't make out who's done it. To me the movie ends with some who hand a hand in it, but that's all.
Actually, I liked the first half, before the murder (if it was one) more than the second half.
No, this movie is not a must.
