... these films not gaining a wide audience.. there's a reason

[bjarias · 5/10 · 4 December 2023]

... one of those films where critics having more to say than average viewers... after watching it maybe even more than once, what is it about... two people with so great an intense physical attraction that they can't stop themselves from engaging in sex in whatever-way whenever again and again... lots of very nude action on film (for both being first time acting they really do an incredible job.. job??)... to be taking place over eight years, yet there's no way knowing when any of this is happening

... there's three that must be felt for in all of this... both spouses/family of these kinds of obsessive-pairings, and the viewing audience.

Equivalent to 99 balloons?

Obviously not, but if you know the song by Nena, you may have had the same thought(s) ... or not. Whatever the case, no pun intended as always of course. We do get two people who do not seem to fit - to be a fit that is. And yet as they say opposites attract ... and there is a lot to lick here ... I mean like here ... or do I mean that? Ah another pun.

The movie is quite sexual and it knows it, but in quite the weird way. It is not about shades of grey, but it is about control and power over someone else. It also is about love and how we relate to each other - or not. Are we disconnected, even when we are so close and supposedly super connected (with each other)? There is a case to be made - add other(s) things to the mix and it gets quite dangerous ... well metaphorically speaking that is of course ... can this relationship be sustained? And at what cost?
