i know it's recommended to watch silent as brakhage intended. but about 20 minutes in i put on loveless by my bloody valentine and it enhanced the viewing experience so much for me. shoegaze is like the perfect pairing to brakhages imagery.
the visceral imagery and like details hidden underneath all of the blur and distortion. really cool film and so god damn unique. I tried to figure out what was going on throughout it all, i kinda viewed it…
so trippy, its so haunting, that final shot... god damn.
surrealist film is slowly becoming my favorite style of films to watch. this film is so dreamy, so many nice shots, it leaves you with a feeling of confusion, it has so much symbolism and themes that you yourself must interpret, it feels very isolated, it feels even more panicky, yet also feels calming? as you watch this you will find your self slowly starting to drift into the dreamscape maya deren and alexandr hackenschmied create.
so much better than the original. just capture the vibe of a disaster film so incredibly well. genuine emotion, stakes, fun and interesting characters.
daisy edgar jones is amazing in this, glenn powell is charismatic as ever, loved anthony ramos too.
also me and my homie watched this when there was unironically an insane wind "advisory" earlier. we didn't even realize the connection until like mid way through.
had a great time with this.
I've finally finished it. I've finally finished one of the greatest fictional stories ever put to paper, screen etc... It took years but its finally done and I feel... satisfied. The plot is so creative and one of a kind. The writing is filled with so many beautiful and raw moments as well as some of the coldest and most epic moments in the history of anything. The plot twists in this show are so fucking great and they shock…
