Among quiet, still performances, the shots that stay not on faces, but whatever the character is apparently considering (illustrations, animated gifs, art) remain especially stark. As objects they can't so easily betray our expectations. We can make a meaning for them, meaning for the people in the film, with little chance of direct contradiction.

Sublimation so desperate & sincere it breaks.

el pestazo a edginess y ternura barata de Dennis Cooper la hace infumable, aunque es fuerte lo bien que funciona, punto por punto, como complemento de Ontología del accidente de Catherine Malabou, que casualmente estoy leyendo ahora mismo y que fue publicado, en Francia también, unos años antes que la peli. de hecho, lo referencia tan bien que es difícil no verla a ratos como una adaptación narrativa de ese ensayo. no es que eso la haga menos bodrio, es sólo un dato curioso y seguramente deliberado.
busca desesperadamente redimirse en la escena final, y casi lo consigue, pero el resto es tan malo que para entonces ya es insalvable

Incredibly meaningful, very clearly queer and this benefited SO much after a rewatch. This film was clearly done by a writer, and it shows so well with the symbolism and the direct, purposeful dialogue

One of my favorite movies I've ever seen. I watched this days ago and I have been thinking about it nonstop. Simply incredible

One of my favorite movies I've ever seen. I watched this days ago and I have been thinking about it nonstop. Simply incredible

Permanent Green Light is filled with beautiful writing, not in the way that we say our favorite movies are, but the literal combination of words that fit so well. It's beautiful

I watched this two days ago and I really have yet to come up with the words. The dance sequence will always stick with me, and Roman as a character is so oddly human. His suicidal ideation is directed in a way that most movies are scared to tackle. The characters say exactly what they are thinking.

Capitalism has a way of mucking down everything so much that at times, all you can really do is harp on yourself. It's inevitable. Roman is the embodiment of that hopelessness and that desire for feeling. His friends see it too

Technically, you can tell that this was a bit low budget, but that doesn't hold it back in the slightest. I loved the brightness of the nature, the camera acting as a lense into this world. The dance scene, again, was beautiful to watch. The ending is really fitting and just works

This movie is queer, it's cold and honestly repressed. It's self-indulgentness is really incredible

Permanent Green Light made me really sad. It's one of the more difficult movies I've seen recently for how much depth is woven into these character. A rewatch is in store in the near future
