what is suffering and what is it to art? how does one find the joy of creation and is that joy enough? impressive performance from fassbender despite barely seeing his face. watched it for the first time in 2018 with a brand new group of friends i thought iād have forever. that group has since spectacularly imploded, but i watch this movie every few years to commemorate them and the new friends iāve made since.

Do not watch this film if you are depressed, sad or melancholy becauseĀ it will severely compound those feelings. But if you want to see how a genius filmmaker can create spectacular moods and atmospheresĀ of real despair and pathos then this film is for you. It's a visceral experience and a challenging one at that...more like a cinematic occult ritual. Take particular note of Volker Spengler's fearlessĀ performance and also the "Frankie Teardrop" scene for an example of what I mean about creating a sensory poem of anguish using sound and visions.

This movie devastated me & has earned its right to haunt me forever in the best way possible. As grey & suffocatingly forlorn a film as it is, there is also a true and hard-won hope under its uncompromising reels of horror. Something somehow intensified by its oppression.
Before watching it, I had an odd, and possibly, fully misplaced gut feeling there would be that hope, and love under it all. Iām glad I was right, and itās those spots of light that truly make this movie.
Iām gushing, but this was the most consummate case in recent memory of a film rewarding my faith like that.

love the idea of giving out a bunch of cameras and just letting guests go ham with whatever pics they find most important, whether intoxicated or sober. you miss so many little moments as bride/groom, when youāre essentially just the centrepiece for a large event. but being able to witness these intimate bits of joy from loved ones, even though you werent able to directly participate, is beautiful nonetheless imo
seconding the excitement re: Ć”o dĆ is! :ā)
