Céline and Julie Go Boating 1974
I don’t feel like I fully get it, all I feel about it is that there is a consistent pattern of swapping characters and pretending to be someone else, but it is clearly disregarding the normal narrative storytelling to a point I did get a little lost and confused.

So much morally grey area that makes this all the more complex and compelling.
Some really lovely close ups while these characters listen to music, and the piano shots are cool too.
I see a lot of TÁR in this, it is certainly inspired by this in a lot of ways.

What cinema is for, Cronenberg’s quirked up kinks wrapped in philosophical discussions of the future. Seeing it on the big IMAX screen was quite something, I am indeed overwhelmed way more compared to watching it on my tablet, really a completely different experience.
Crash never stops it keeps going one thing after another, it’s…
