a swathe of still pixels, twitching with compression artifacts. I saw myself in the scene. moments, memories I have had, dreams. I dont think there is a word that characterises nature like this. it looms like a crumpled bedsheet, like a bodily presence.
you have to know that its boring, that its fleeting and transient, that it is nothing, that it happens every day. but its still worth seeing that light dribble out of frame, and its still worth checking in with how you feel.
moving, stylish, wistful. loved the setting and the superstitious/ magical undertones, the sleazyness, the schemes, the honesty, the arte povera. loved the theatrics and the cartoonish gang. the feeling of being lost and looking for something, seeing things that are wrong and things that are right, and feeling like none of it is mine. really put me in the mind of this character and left me very impressed and in awe
there is nothing spooky or entertaining about a mentally ill woman practicing self harm and experiencing delusions. really did not like this one, felt wrong. 100% predictable, student-tier camerawork and embarassing vfx (save for... one? shot of an alleyway that was subversive enough to stand out?) sickening to watch, pointless too. offers nothing of worth
