I really appreciated that they showed both the allure and destructiveness of addiction. They didn’t simplify themselves by demonizing but rather truly making an exploration of it. Excellent performances across the board, loved the pacing, loved the simple but effective visual storytelling.

Transcendent. I don’t think I’ve ever had a movie experience quite like it. I have so many thoughts but they all feel half baked cause there’s just so much to unpack. Koji Yakusho gives such a (what even is the proper adjective) performance of a man desperately hiding from life and yet constantly seeking beauty and fleeting connections. The way the dreams bleed into life and vice versa was stunning. That final shot broke me into a million fuckin pieces.

First time I watched this movie I was blown away by the performances but thought some of the writing was a bit manipulative and kinda contrived. Still think that. But this movie also hit really hard the second time around and kinda fucked me up. Which at the end of the day is what you want in a good movie beyond all the minor technical flaws.

If someone were to ask me to name 10 filmmakers that have changed the way I look at film David Lynch would be on that list. If they asked me to narrow it down to 5, he’d still be on that list. And if they got all the way down to 1, David Lynch would be on that list.
Thank you for inspiring me and countless others.Translated from by
