Lesson of a Dead Language
genuinely how does this have so little veiws on letterboxd?? a brilliant, well crafted film in every aspect that borders surrealism but still keeps you grounded. certain parts such as the humor really remind me of eraserhead and lynch in general, the way that stuff is always happening with so much symbolism there is a lot to takeaway from this.
