Don't think I've ever seen it, but now, finally. And indeed it's a wonderful piece.
There were pieces of dialogue, rather repetitions of dialogue, I did not find too believable, but, for example, how they all literally turn their back on the angry old guy, is a wonderful piece of performance.
I tried to focus on dialogue and shots, getting a feeling for the rhythm, how they used shots, close-ups, &etc to tell this story, but I must admit I did follow the story thoroughly and this kept me from focussing on the "meta-side" most of the time.
Wonderful film.
