I was just curious, Capo. Do you view a 9 1/2 hour movie in one day without interruption, or do you take breaks while watching it? I would imagine it is extremely difficult for a movie to stay interesting and compelling for such a long time, but it sounds like this one did.
I watched it in two sittings, Klyd. Four and a half, then five. In each sitting I had a few mini-breaks at appropriate points. Because it's a succession of "talking heads" (but so much more than that; better seen than read about), I actually think it becomes more compelling the longer you sit and watch it. Breaks can become detrimental to films with this sort of rhythm. Time itself (along with repetition) becomes part of its meaning and power.
