Ritual

I didn't really know what to expect before watching this movie, but while watching it I realized once again how cinema is an exceptional art. I was first impressed by the visuals and the whole structure of the shots in the movie, like everything was so beautiful and symmetrical, but at the same time so chaotic, strange and extravagant, which made the whole movie so captivating to watch (the sets, the extravagance and the structure reminded me a bit of monogatari). But what impressed me the most was how real, emotional and human the characters seemed to me. Their internal conflicts and ways of dealing with reality were for each of them an exaggerated but real way, and in seeing them I saw myself, but also the relationship I have with my reality. In fact this film had a cathartic effect on me in many ways and it left a strong impact on me, it's probably one of my favorite films now and I'm glad I saw it.
