dear peter greenaway, i hate you so much for making me go through this glorious madness. the way it’s constructed is likely one of the most impressive narratives i’ve ever seen, it being simultaneously scattered all over the place and the most bizarrely logical thing ever, so it was genuinely surprising for me to read other people’s reviews about the film being boring (?????) for them because i was literally devoured by everything happening and the imagery GOD THE IMAGERY…

Beau Travail 1999
the poetry of alleged personal transformation for the greater (?) good, the exuberance of youth rhyming with the still-flickering flame of nonsensical, irrational jealousy. the inane beauty of unity in its imminent rivalry, the disappointment of compassion during sine missione. the reflection of one’s fears and desires in the eyes of another and the decadence that comes with the realization that you’re not, in fact, special at all. you’re just a part of the machine, and your motto is “serve the good cause and die”. but it’s entirely up to you to find the strength to turn the tables, tying your existence to “serve yourself and dance”
