to me this was so much about naivety, the sheltered haven of upper middle class America, the sweet cautiousness of being a girl with a crush, standing at the threshold between youth and insanity, a line that we all inevitably cross at some point, where we all begin to understand that darkness can take many forms, it’s about the mystery and violence of red lipstick and sexuality and that saccharine happy ending punctuated by a robin who represents love that also eats bugs 😛
the layers of reality, the struggle for survival, the burning down of the rigid, unwavering hierarchies of high art and low art, a woman-directed-and-edited film incubated in a hypermasculine alternate realm, the bids for attention, begging to be seen, yearning for art in the places they’re rarely found, the friendships we make along the way, the freedom of façade, the scratching and clawing for purpose, death, love, sunsets, and cars 🫦
I fell down the subway stairs and hit my head on the way to this movie and it made it an entirely more visceral experience, I came out of the film with a bruise and cried like 14 times.
