minus 2 stars for contrived, hamfisted metaphors and ruminations. plus 1 for how well it just works in the entirety of the film, from encapsulating the ridiculous, obsessive and melodramatic nature of love while also never veering too far into self-important seriousness and pretension (perhaps unlike this review) pee pee poo poo i love faye wong

The Duke of Burgundy 2014
born to love forced to dom
beautiful shots that can be hilarious at times (the distortion on evelyns face through the window during the salesperson scene). i was a fan of the soundtrack as well as the way the film introduces and reveals the relationship as well as each of the element of the world

The Worst Person in the World 2021
the only movie i've ever walked out of feeling ok only to burst into tears half way out of the theater
edit: i thought about it more, and the movie isn't that great--a bit too boring with its pacing, and its soundtrack and cinematography pretty uninspiring. the characters are all unlikable, but i'm pretty sure that's the pointTranslated from by
