    Kinda like Na Hong-jin's 2016 film "The Wailing", if "The Wailing" was an early 80's slapstick Hong Kong action film with Sammo Hung.

    The film is pretty to look at, but the sense of loving and being loved in a mutual fight against becoming stagnant and in pursuit of a feeling is the real draw here, and its wonderful.

    The most consistent thing about this movie is how bizarre it is, with its eagerness to keep up the crazyness giving it a delightful, slightly demented charm.
