    i’m leaving.

    gerry is humanity’s death march; once they get lost, they’re no longer in our world anymore. it’s as if they’ve slipped past the boundaries of life, into this liminal purgatory that was never made for human eyes. perspective becomes irrelevant when there is an infinite nothingness, time literally passes, seconds feel like days, how long have they been walking? there’s this hauntingly beautiful six to seven minute shot that begins in blackness, and the sun rises as our…

    and silent nod between us
    both shackled,

    this intimate marriage of sensation, of response,
    an exchange of jargon from one orifice to the next
    all my thoughts are colorless; markopoulos at his most divine.

    ★★★★★

    i've never been this emotionally devastated with any other film like aftersun, and it's because of how close this hits to home. time passes by, and life goes on, but our memories stay with us forever. the final dance scene resonated with me so much that i began reflecting on my own life, reminding me of those small, everlasting memories of joy and happiness with friends that i will probably never speak to ever again. it reminds me to start…
