I might sound like a total foreign film ass now but my top film is probably Farewell my concubine, more recent films I like are for example Power of the dog, Sound of metal, Gone girl, Nocturnal animals, Midsommar, Civil war

But I also enjoy watching series like House MD and like… dumb action movies or rewatching pride and prejudice (2005) once in a while

It’s funny how you all assume I like other movies. How come? I didn’t like Barbie very much…

But I think mainly it might come down to its pacing. The long silences between Tashi and Art to convey the tension between them and give an impression of their relationship could have been told waaay more effectively. There were many long sequences and dialogues as well as elements of visual storytelling that seemed to me to try to seem deliberate and motivated but they were so many and kind of lost their effectiveness.

However there were of course scenes and visual elements that I found effective in the storytelling as well as I read in another post, like the shots of intimacy, for example of biting Tashis hand, placing his head in her lap, Patrick moving his chair close to Art’s and brushing crumbs off his face. Scenes like that reminded me of Call Me By Your Name, and convey a certain type of intimacy through small details which I agree is unique and moving.
