The whole thing is so amazingly beautiful
Bright
Living pastel
This is a film that demands to be projected.
Was it shot on loc? (Well, it was shot somewhere.)

Peter Weir. Eric Rohmer. Andrucha Waddington. Terrence Malick. (I am struggling.)

Buńuel bite. Couple of sarcastic anti-religious (anti-hypocrisy) jibes.

Like Lars von Trier in being crafty. In manipulating you to want what you shouldn’t want. The film, like __________ merely helps you “reveal your true nature.”

The film has major tonal swings, which I seriously doubt are by accident.

1:30 – the entire interaction tween the dead man’s brother and [main character] represents the struggle within the film’s narrative itself (born from film convention) between seriousness, industrial, causal-sequential versus meandering-inconsequential, subconscious, non-sensical. Tavernier is so having us on.

2:00 – the same thing – the girl wants resolution (and so do we!), but he makes her (and us!) listen to a stupid story about dogs.
