Started this after seeing the original awhile ago and man is it a weird one. The original film is better in basically every way. The most damning aspect to this in comparison is the editing. Really obnoxious and ruins a lot of the intensity of the original. Acting is fine for the most part, and structurally it’s very similar so in that way it’s still excellent. It’s just a much worse experience compared to its fantastic original. Oh the shorter runtime doesn’t help either.

My only major gripe was that the 2nd third of the film was a little dull (that grape scene felt like it lasted an hour, even if I did like how it represented him being reborn in a way). Either way a fantastic film that captured this complex idea so phenomenally well.
