That fucking keyboard music was lol.
For however sloppy and poorly constructed the film was the ending was very effective and upsetting.

The ideas are interesting.
I know Hartley is about deconstruction, but I don’t think it really works here or I just wasn’t in the mood, even though I truly appreciate his efforts.
This is normally not my type of movie, but my ten year old and eight year old wanted to see this. So I spent a couple weeks watching all 26 episodes of the anime series, then getting to see my first subtitled, foreign film with my kids!!!
We had soooooooo much fun together.
I’ll never know if this is a good film or not because the incredible high feeling I have right now has very little to do with the film.
This and Eyes Wide Shut would be a wonderful double feature on the assumptions that men have about women and how those assumptions serve to only hurt the male ego, which in turn makes men feel they have permission to hurt women (or wildly indulge in male fantasies that justify his careless and bad behavior so that the man can even out the pain he believes the woman has put him through).
Akerman is a genius and slowly becoming my great love.
This could have been called ‘As You Like’ or ‘I Know Why the Cage Bird Sleeps’.
