Dark, raw, strange, abstract and poetic.
This is the story of a love that's toxic and healing at the same time.
The plot is simpler than what I had imagined reading comments and reviews, but to understand it to the fullest you have to just focus on the movie and not overthink it. What's more important in this case it's not the story itself though, but how it is told through the shots. The cinematography it's absolutely stunning. The colours, the lightings, the backgrounds: drop dead gorgeous. Some of the scenes even look like paintings.
The music was absolutely perfect, and it added to the atmosphere. It was very strong and present, and I found it very fitted in general. I have to admit that I usually don't pay that much attention to soundtracks, so this was a very nice touch.
Even though the ending isn't exactly clear, I love the uncertainty about this movie, and that confusion left me completely satisfied.
The actors did such an amazing job, they portrayed the sadness and emptiness of the characters perfectly.
To sum it up, this felt really strange and unexpected, kind of like a hindi/alternative movie, but in the best way. I really like it!
10/10 would recommend.
