It's an anti-story

Rating: 4/10 (29 September 2019)

This is the sort of pointless, meandering post-modernist story that really draws inspiration from, as many others like it do, from beat poetry, and the impressionist way of 'telling stories'. The issue is, the sum of the parts is nothing.
We start with a guy who wants to leave a girl, and a girl who refuses to let him go. We end with, well, what we end with. There's no one much relateable in the film to connect to, the imagery doesn't form a cohesive metaphor, or character narrative, and whilst some of the imagery is striking, the score is horrid, glaringly over dramatic and the journey feels frankly like wasted time.
If anything this film to me represents why we are moving past the post-meaning era, and returning to romanticism, and modernism. The question to untie all the knots, and question accepted truths is a journey that is complete, and all that is left is a pile of string on the floor.
