See You in Hell, My Darling 1999
When the ground slips under your feet, the one to catch you or push you ever lower should be someone you love very much. Only then everything gets some meaning.
SYIHMD is about 3 souls trapped in purgatory, at times struggling against or falling into the flow of the cycles they've been doomed to repeat. Its literally purgatory. Afterlife is just like their earth life, only no one can grow, learn, or change.

I left the theater feeling that…

Memoria 2021
I've been writing too many long thoughtful reviews so I'll just say I'm so so grateful to have seen this in a theater with my dear sweet bf who gets it
5 people walked out lol
**update** I had extremely mystical dreams that night. Totally different feeling from any other dreaming I've done. I also turned my headphones off on my morning walk and just listened to the sounds. Total perceptual reframe - this kind of sustained immersive focus is very good for the brain IMHO
