Uhh holy shit
So much energy and such a thick atmosphere. The break neck pace is super jarring but only in a way that adds to it. Its almost suffocating. I only want to show this to people and see if they feel the way I felt

the most concentrated hour and 47 minutes of Schwartz and Fosse and it feels like a drug induced high
