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.
At times, they can remember. They cling…
People who might be skeptical bc they don't like melodrama... Look he is an evil Mr Bean stalking around mcmansions with a hypodermic needle held in his hand like a hatchet. He bodies 2 cops using this method.

I love the pure acres of flesh on display, the desanitized hairy queerness and this lost era of public sex. I loved watching Al Pacino’s eyes flush with (apparently very real) discomfort with gay sex.…
*staring into the middle distance* I did not like Something Wild very much. Do I hate art? Scorn love? Am I dead inside?
For all the ways it breaks convention, Something Wild is still a fairly straight up romantic comedy. And from the jump, I bristled.
