After Songs From The Second Floor grew on me an incredible amount after I viewed it. I thought it’d be silly of me to not go through The Living Trilogy as soon as I possibly could.
And You, The Living really builds on its predecessor in so many incredible and genius ways. I like the way it captures the vastness of life. Not only externally, in the multiple vignettes that are shown here. But also internally; how we all share a lack…
I can’t be too certain as to where this falls for me but I just empathised so much with this film and the more it went on the more sad and tragic it got.

The music and cinematography and set design and sound design all collaborate in creating such a mesmerising experience. You lose yourself in the vast expanse of space and I…
