Someone called this hokey. I think it’s holy. David Lynch film about death told through a bright eyed Midwesterner’s stubborn lawnmower ride through flat fields and small hills. Stars. Wieners. Fires. Bikes. Memories. Confessions. Stars. The Afterlife.
Two of the most memorable and greatest performances on film: Richard Farnsworth and Sissy Spacek. And then there’s Harry Dean Stanton with a tiny role that is pure magic.
Phenomenal storytelling. Love the camera movement. The cinematography is divine. Love all of Robert Eggers’ work on folklore!
Loved it! Great performances out of the entire cast, no doubt owed to the direction of the great Ernst Lubitsch.
Second viewing because I had to show this to my girlfriend lol. Great great movie about forbidden love.
I really love Koreeda’s films. He understands the dynamics between a person’s relationship with their family and their place in this world like no other filmmaker today.
