I was super captivated by the first 10 minutes but everything slowly started to drift away from me until the ending, which was powerful but I'd need to watch this again to 'get it'
Like, I'm assuming, every Straub/Huillet film following this, every word, every cut, is like a gunshot to the chest. There is no 'useless' word, everything serves a purpose and that is exactly what makes this film so difficult to digest. The difficulty lies in trying to stay afloat, avoiding the inevitable suffocation if your attention is lost
