    Love a response to bourgeois patriarchy that's just 'do hot shit with your friends, take advantage of rich men, make weird art and engorge yourself on decadent food'

    Amazing and fun and felt kind of sensual in a different way. It reminded me of Fever Ray's comments last year about how discourse around kinkiness is dominated (pardon) by bondage, but a tea party could be just as kinky to someone else, and I think something similar can be said for avant garde filmmaking. Maybe it's just a gaze that's new to me, but I loved it.

    Somewhere between a Murakami story and a Sufjan song. Heartbreaking and touching. Intimate commentary on the emotional responsibility we have towards those around us. Incredibly beautiful photography and colours and lighting, and amazing performances.
