not great, I liked the bit where he pulls her face up and gives her a drag of his cigarette from his own fingers tho - rather alluring (?)

Well I liked the surreal aesthetic, dream like vibe, and the psychosexual philosophical elements. But I have to admit this shit was pretty weird. And I’m like lowkey confused wtf the point was. Very pleasing to look at tho like visually striking.
