0 a boring part of something, especially a book, film, etc.:
Despite the occasional longueurs, this is an impressive first novel.
These four operas had endless technical blemishes - scripts full of dramatic longueurs, scores with little feeling for real instruments (though they may have sounded all right played on a computer).
If there have been any longueurs, it is because of the strictures of statute.
The play seemed surprisingly long and showed real longueurs not only in the production but also in the text.
Incident follows incident, exciting escape upon terrible adventure; on and on without pause or "longueur" the dramatic narrative proceeds, until the inevitable tragic end is reached.
