What if Laura Palmer escaped her small town, only to be forced to face the fact that God has abandoned all of His children?
Between Limbo and Chaos.TV, there is no doubt in my mind that—in an alternative universe—Tina Krause went on to direct a film that rivals Love Massacre, Inland Empire, and Possession as one of my favorite pieces of horror media ever. There is a hunger baked into Limbo’s derealized mania that is difficult to ignore: this unearthly need to create something that reaches beyond external perception. For as much as I do connect with both of these works, the raw vulnerability they display only illustrates Krause’s artistic potential—potential that is now uncertain in the possibility of realization. Krause’s unpolished aesthetic identity simultaneously elevates the emotions of these early texts while also inflicting me with the pain of possibly never knowing how her ideas would’ve grown in future feature films.
Overall, while I did connect to Limbo, I am left feeling as hungry as Tina must've felt making the joint; however, I must wonder if that hunger is vital in my connection towards the piece. What I experienced is the absolute vision of a young creative dissatisfied with the art she was a part of, and I would be lying if I said these feelings of artistic dissatisfaction were not deeply inspiring and even mobilizing in some regard. I am forced to see a future, and perhaps it is a future that was never fully realized, but the fact that any sort of vision is being inflicted onto me must mean something.
But idk… ya bish’s just a girl at the end of the day
