To be honest I expected this to go in a bit of a different direction. Like many others have pointed out, it's quite odd why the director thought it's better to barely explore Ani as a complex person with motivations, conflicts or a backstory. We were just given crumbs
Instead he just opted for a plot-oriented ride about this journey of escaping the life she had to marry the son of a rich Oligarch and how it lead to this…

I do find my feelings towards the film on the first watch being mixed understandable as it seemed as if it was forcing a certain ambience but I'm acknowledging this work as more than that on a rewatch
I've been more appreciative of atmospheric story telling which doesn't rely on dialogue because one of my favorite pieces of art (literally my profile picture) is the prime example of this lmao
This film is so masterful at combining…
