as soon as the narrated description and the depiction of a character didn't line up because we were being told a story from one perspective and seeing it visualized from another, with a completely different frame of reference... man.
Eiko Ishioka really knocked it outta the park. Consecutively. Around 500 times in a row. Just a machine gun of metaphorical baseballs being launched into the sky, never to be seen again.
This person mentioned “Chand Baori”, a place I had never heard about, a couple of weeks ago so I looked it up and learned about it.
Seeing it featured in the trailer for this film took me by surprise, I had never heard about this movie, or so I thought, but then I realized that I had learned about
the existence of this movie when reading the “In media” section of the Chand Baori Wikipedia page.
This is not important or even that interesting for anyone other than me, but it’s one of those full circle moments that happen every once in a while so I’m writing this just to document it for myself.
I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the film. While I understand it's a critically acclaimed art house film, I find some scenes and themes disturbing and unsatisfying. Can we discuss it further?
good lord, my favorite movie almost no one knows about. Made me a Lee Pace fan for life. I wish I could see it again for the first time - everything about it was and remains stunning.
Such an amazing movie. "Mubi" has it streaming now in 4k (there is a free trial people can use) and i think a Blue-Ray release is on the way as well. This movie not being on streaming platforms the past 10+ years sucked so bad.

No words, just 🤩
That 4K restoration was utterly beautiful
(Not a mark against my old DVD copy, but still…)
Been meaning to show it to my fiancé.
I’m curious about the one you’re talking about, and wanna check it out.
A perfect masterpiece:
