Shunji Iwai is slowly turning into my favourite director and film writer. I am in love with how he deals with adolescent isolation, identity, and existentialism. Interestingly, I find that Kantian ethics has a role in his films, especially on the topic of morality.

Food is the ultimate love language tool. Of course I made this for you. Of course I remembered you don’t like that. Of course I’ll share it with you, here, have a bite. Of course I’ll eat what you made even though it’s probably inedible. Of course. Of course.
