  Great entry in the depresso catalogue, starts falling off the wheels at the end but you buy it because of what comes before

  Instantly reminiscent of Rivette in its portrayal of theatre as an enigmatic medium that both exposes and intervenes in the inner lives of its players. But here, the questions presented are less focused on meaning making, and more concerned with the essence of the world - this is a film that sincerely asks what it entails for something to be purple vs somewhat purple vs not purple. Repetitions of these forms and materials in everyday life are seen to anchor the larger mysteries of being.
