Cure
Ah
Atmosphere dialled up to an enthralling degree
An all encompassing trance of brooding and disquiet bends its way into the room and fills it
At one point I had to keep consciously un-furrowing my brow bc I was getting a headache
Some of my favourite performances I’ve seen in a while
Everything felt genius
Then after so much perfection, I feel like I limited it
Honestly, I need to watch again
Fast
I missed quite a lot of simple things that would let me be so much more comfortable and confident in this sense of ambiguity
It’s so silly and I’m embarrassed to admit it
But I’m pretty sure it’s the truth
Sometimes I’m just tired
Either way, it didn’t hold back from the gut wrenching and the stomach sinking, soul dragging lull of the production of this film
The sound design oh lord the noises
Wow
All that and just how well it’s presented did absOLUTELY provide a perfect enough experience for me to step back now and be content
But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t dissatisfied with my own absorption of the little details
Tbh after discovering these things I ‘missed’ they don’t really change much and my understanding remains the same but idk
This feels significant
I guess this is all just a really long winded way of reiterating that I can’t wait to see this again
Because it really is perfect
And it really deserves trying to capture everything
Something isn’t clicking right for me but I know it can because it did until I thought about it too much and have no subsequently convinced myself I’ve missed out on something BIG
But I really don’t think I have
It’s just a part of the process
Masterpiece
Coming back the next day and I haven’t stopped thinking about it
This is amazing guys
Also it all just randomly clicked when I was dozing off
So boom
Now I just gotta see it again to see it again
I’m just that blown away really
Amazing amazing amazing
Very satisfying little shift in my angle of understanding
