Perfect Days 2023
finding beauty in the mundane; seeking comfort in the daily routines of a seemingly run-of-the-mill life. a realistic depiction of day and night as a series of duties, obligations, social interactions, places, and nights filled with flashes of abstract dream sequences. each day and night repeat swiftly and feel the same. same but with nuances, and the beauty comes from finding joy in these subtle details, like discovering a slip of paper in the toilet then playing tic-tac-toe with a stranger or komorebi — the shimmering of light and shadows that is created by leaves swaying in the wind. it only exists once, at that moment.

Millennium Mambo 2001
gorgeous opening and very nice neon, orange, and teal colors to depict the tension and turmoil of a lost young woman trapped in a toxic love cycle. a bit too stagnant and slow in the middle but maybe that’s how it’s meant to be in order to showcase the mundane and disoriented phases in young adulthood

The Worst Person in the World 2021
beautiful and real. the restlessness, discontentment, lonely walks in a big city and amidst crowds of people, and ceaseless search for meaning were portrayed so well. feels like we're always onto bigger n better things until a loved one falls ill, then you're suddenly reminded of how fleeting and fragile life is. youth fades before you're able to fully comprehend it. at least I'm glad that julie found what she wanted at the end!
