    It was more interesting than I expected, exploring control in the name of love. Florence's acting is still superb, and she's truly the reason the whole film holds up. Her tense breaths kept me on edge, and I'm also really glad she ended things with Jack🙂‍↕️

    Fortunately, I have some superficial impressions of Rinpoche's teachings on the Bardo, and I really appreciate the interpretations within. Lingering hesitantly, bound by the habits of everyday matters,  the ophiocordyceps sinensis, unable to shake off the grass on our heads no matter how hard we try—these once again awaken us to our current state. Are we truly free? Living is dying, yet freedom—when will we truly crossing this crossroads?

    Whether it's the opening phone booth mise-en-scène or the various interlaced shots that show the director's mastery, Park Chan-wook manages to convince me that underneath all the violence and bloodshed is the most romantic love ever.
