perhaps maybe I'm just a sucker of Asian films in general, but I sincerely absolutely devour this. Hashiguchi's blatant grasp to surrealism, and delve to challenge moral philosophy raising questions to the boundaries of lust & love. Like Grains of Salt is exactly just how it feels.
contrary to what's often talked about, my favourite scene was Ito's confession. It was simply honest and desperate— as if he's finally willing to drop the bomb and accept whatever happens right after years…
the only act that got me excited was their tryst albeit poorly executed. great twist & cinematography tho
fantasy ko today, isa akong indie filmmaker na ginagawang pelikula ang buhay at may gf na chronically online na kasing ganda ni Jane Oineza
the film is no more special more than what it takes to do it. i see it, the whole vision of filming a coming-of-age through various stages of adolescence. this just doesn't resonates with me.
so often than not, the act lacks the context needed to make Mason an actual character. i see what they're trying to do, it just felt flat. still, a pretty decent film.
