The Princess and the Warrior
run lola run’s evil younger cousin. i appreciate lots about what i think this film is going for (shoutout to the edit, whch is really fucking good) but it’s kind of unforgivably overlong and muddy in a way that is difficult to get past or justify as thematically enriching. there are some really interesting sequences and ideas in here, especially the finale, but it just doesn’t come together for me.
