  Not a review but cool editing choices that inspired me:

  - :15:00 : drone under conversation with Mamiya re: wife in pink negligee

  - 1:09:00: cool blips of mesmerism images

  - 1:38:00: Thud of Mamiya hitting the radiator with stool building up like an earthquake before the reveal of what it is
