fleeting moments and twisted memories
lost and disfigured in the whirlwind of time
the hunger inside a ravenous kiss
clutching each others heads and the violent pressing of skin
slowing down the present moment
turning the grating clash of two textures into a muffled softness to linger eternally in the ears
esoteric
warm flushes of colour disintegrating and conforming to the shifts of time
esoteric figures of light
the clench of fingertips on the folds of bedsheets
entwining limbs
loneliness

Upstream Color 2013
i love to be alone
the sun is but a morning star
the wildest sound ever heard make the woods ring far and wide
faint tinkling sounds borne to my ear
their roots reaching quite under the house
fearing that they would be light-headed for want of food and also sleep
prevailing blue mixed with the yellow of sand
sunshine is the colour of the water
i used to wonder at the halo of light around my shadow and fancied myself one of the electTranslated from by

Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
probably the most ambitiously crazy, overwhelming, thoughtful and altogether just mind-bending movie i’ve ever seen

Arrival 2016
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
this was incredible. i love the concept of playing around with time. this movie is unbelievably clever structurally, i adore the way the puzzle pieces slowly came together as i watched it. i am thankful also that it educated me about the importance of language and why communication exists. this is a beautiful movie of intelligence, strength and grief, all intertwined into the journey louise takes on with her expanded consciousness of time. i feel very struck by the whole story, it was incredibly thought-provoking and it kept me on edge for every minute, i think it’s perfect.
