    Hallelujah and amen. So pleased to see this, and experience it fully- as in it made me experience it fully, and kept bringing me to new places. 

    The film is beautiful and free and light on its feet, it keeps turning and turning and turning and pushes all of these filmmaking tools to a their extent, reaching a satisfying, heartbreaking, dramatic height. Im always in favor of films threading types of images and from different sources. Also joins a short list…

    A little predictable here and there, i.e. sensing someone is about to die, fuck up the play, etc. But! Was actually very touching and i thought did good to avoid other obvious cliches. The group of men in prison dynamic could have been really pulpy or fake, but the real stories and attributes of the people on screen really brought the whole thing forward. 

    Also gets my biggest gold star for the lighting and camerawork actually being intentional and attractive to the story. The medium has to meet the message!

    I love you dumpster lady!! you are the evil reality of hollywood. Always there always hidden always in plain sight. All these evil deeds latch themselves onto you, the most vulnerable, the most cast aside. You arent the reason people die and their dreams fail, you are them after the fact, the witness. 

    I love the movie tropes expanding into something bigger- the cowboy as a dark agent of the industry and the bag of money and key being literal…

    i dont think skarsguard should play every monster just because. nosferatu should be more spindly and seductive and creepy and less monsterish!
