I saw this film yesterday and had to sit and let it marinate in my mind for a bit before I said too much too soon. Then went back and rewatched it to make sure I meant what I wanted to say. This movie is absolutely beautiful, in the strangest of ways. As the other review stated, it's a brain-melting film. But it's perfect. There's no such thing as a "perfect" film. But it's perfect TO ME. From the atmosphere, to the set locations, to the direction, cinematography, the editing (good lord, the editing in this film), it's everything I wanted and more when I saw the trailer. First few minutes make you think it'll be an anthology film, which at first I was like "ah, ok, well I guess that lends itself to do some cool stuff without being tied down by a narrative" but then the movie kept going, and I realized "no, everything has meaning and purpose. Nothing here was accidental." And by the end, I was truly wowed, moved, and mesmerized. This is a film that I want to STUDY. When this thing comes out on dvd and blu-ray, I hope it comes with a directors commentary to explain everything in great detail. From set designs, to deeper meanings, Easter eggs, everything. This is the type of film that makes me want to make films. 2020 has been a slow year for films (for obvious reasons), but this one made it worth it. Joe Badon is showing the big Hollywood directors how it's done.
