  Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell 2023

  Watched 18 Aug 2023

  The long takes here are, for the most part, aesthetically pleasing, but they are also so laboriously over-constructed that, rather than immerse us in a feeling, a movement, a moment, they instead simply force to sit and contemplate the faux-Artistry on display. Empty!

  Sexiest movie ever made. Nothing more sensual than metal on metal, broom broom goes the engine baby and I'm revving for more. Gestural and sensual and everything cinema can and should be.
