A 17 year old Todd Haynes made this with the wand of a wizard and genius mind of a young auteur. The immeasurable pain and agony of being alone. Fracturing and melting into a bloody red dripping tetrahedron of pain to the chest. The lack of human warmth does that to a man, much less a boy. So strong and willful in the way it picks you up and sweeps you away. The shots reek of nostalgia for a better day, weeping upon the past. Really really heartbreaking but equally enamoring camera work. Red is all I see.
