Fairly safe for Abel Ferrara I feel like. Felt like a poor man’s ’Melancholia’. Dafoe has a few great monologues but other than that it’s really uneventful.

my mom always ALWAYS ends ANY interaction, no matter how small with “i love you”, because “what if it’s the last thing i get to say to you?”

Post st. John Ferrara has been interesting to watch. Almost all his movies have felt less cohesive and more strange. It certainly feels like Ferrara is trying and wanting to tell a bigger story with his movies now and I can appreciate the artistic direction many of his movies have taken in this new era trying different things and what not, but it doesn't always work for me. Willem Dafoe was definitely the MVP of this movie.

I've kinda stopped my chronological viewing order too for different reasons, but I also feel that in his modern era Ferrara evolves less more than he just tried new things in his work, so I doubt the occasional lack of context of his filmography will taint the viewing experience.

Estoy tan acostumbrada a las películas apocalípticas desde un plano más general, dónde cuentan la historia de unos particulares pero muestran el panorama externo, que ver algo más cercano a lo que se viviría fue novedoso, extraño y muy agridulce.
No te cuenta qué ocurrió, al final sientes asfixia como si lo estuvieses viviendo y la angustia de querer resolver todo lo pendiente y aun así, estar atrapado en tu pequeño departamento. Muy recomendable.
