i have been gone to there
i've sort of made it a point recently to expand my cinematic hobby (in overcompensation for that withdrawal that was the pandemic) by seeing almost everything that is released (or rereleased) to theaters IN theaters. it's a bit much.
it's a little bit like seeing everything everywhere all at once, which is the one film, above all of the year's crop (thus far, anyway), that i would most stridently recommend seeing theatrically.
an amalgam, spiritually, of crouching tiger, hidden dragon and being john malkovich and say anything [say everything!], and one other major film which i won't spoil, among others, it was the most moving experience for me since jojo rabbit.
two side notes:
the cast is perfect (and wasn't always going to be this same cast, in ways that would've ruined the film)
i have the strongest (strangest) (stringiest?) belief that i fully recall that this film began life as a novel that came highly recommended to me by an ex-girlfriend or girl ex-friend more than a decade ago. i mean truly madly deeply this recollection is lodged in my brain, like i can envsion myself seeing numerous copies of it while browsing at a barnes and noble. but to whatever extent i've since traveled to a different corner of the manyverses, i no longer exist in the manyverse where it was a novel. (or, more likely [some would assert], i am conflating the title of the film with the title of some novel which is actually the novel lodged therein.)
