Closest to an abstract, melancholic vibe, each scene seamlessly melts into the next. Camera lingers an eternity on faces, on tears, sweat, a lock of hair gently lifted by the wind. Solemn, deliberate, and steeped in a pervasive sense of loss - a proper funeral from first frame to last.

Poor Things 2023
Just wanted to like it more.
😞
Second time around, the story seemed even more obvious and un-amazing. Also, didn’t find it as funny as my first viewing.
The more the vibe ventured towards horror and the grotesque the more I enjoyed it, so the first hour retains a sense of genuine awe (aesthetics, editing and music selection remain top notch throughout, mind you) but sadly the last act felt oddly anticlimactic to me.
Loved the last shot in the garden though. So much Kubrick in there.Translated from by
